Provenance
The Estate of Jaan Põldaas
Poldaas notably owned three landscape paintings by Alex Cameron (b. 1947), a ‘third generation’ Canadian abstractionist, former studio assistant to Jack Bush, and Clement Greenberg crony. Cameron, a master painter who is known for a semi abstract style to plein air landscape painting, and impasto application of paint, was a fellow artist in the Constin & Klintworth gallery. The feeling between the two artist must have been mutual: Cameron owns 1 of the 16 Poldaas’ canvases from his ‘come back’ show after a decade away from exhibiting. The show sold out before it opened at Birch Libralato in 2011.
