Alex Colville, R.I.P.

Colville, Swimming Dog and Canoe, 1979


Alex Colville has passed away.

Behind [Alex Colville's] words, as behind his art, you can sense elaborate webs of thought. And, also like his paintings, he stands quite alone, beyond category. It’s impossible to speak with him for a few hours without feeling his powerful sense of self. He is, it seems, a free man.

- Robert Fulford
