Join the MLC Research Centre to celebrate the release of Irene Gammel's I Can Only Paint: The Story of Battlefield Artist Mary Riter Hamilton, a major study of Hamilton's vast, underexplored body of war work.
Irene Gammel teaches communication and culture and directs the Modern Literature and Culture Research Centre at Ryerson University.
For Canadian impressionist Mary Riter Hamilton, capturing the emotional landscape of battlefields and graveyards in the months after the Great War's armistice became an artistic calling and defined her work. A woman alone after the storm had passed, she found that her life after the war was indelibly marked by the experience. The first reliable account of Hamilton's impressions of Canada's most haunting sites of conflict, I Can Only Paint captures with detail and sensitivity an experience that defined her life and recovers a body of work that stands as a unique and enduring portrait of the effects of the Great War.
