David Blackwood one of Canada's most respected visual storytellers, presented an award winning retrospective show at the AGO. I rallied at his much deserved recognition as I follow in this highly espected tradition of art. From the beginnings of history artist's have depicted their world beginning with the earliest known, the cave paintings from a hunting society. Religious scenes, historic battles, portraits of the famous kings, patrons, generals,etc. have followed. Subjects tearing the souls of artists have joined this school, such as Picasso's Guernica.
