Excerpt from The Year Book of Canadian Art: Compiled by the Arts Letters Club of Toronto
Smit with the love of English Arts we came
And met congenial, mingling flame with flame. Pope
The Year Book of Canadian art contains, in as condensed a form as possible, the record of the progress made by a young nation in literature, architecture, music, painting, and sculpture, during the years 1912-1913. Canadians have been largely advertised as a progressive, successful people, but so far no attempt has been made to review their achievements in those fields in which the fame of older countries has long been established. To supply the deficiency, this volume is published by the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto, an organization existing for the encouragement of art in all its forms.
Not a few Canadians have arrived at an international reputation. In literature: Gilbert Parker, W. W. Drummond, Bliss Carman, Louis Frechette, and Stephen Leacock; in paintings: J. W. Morrice, Horatio Walker, Blair Bruce, Homer Watson, Suzor-Cote, and Curtis Williamson; in music: Lavallee, Lucas, and Vogt; in sculpture: Hill, Allward, and Hebert. These are some out of many.
