Inspired Movement

Bart Pragnell

Location: Humboldt and District Gallery

Curated by Heather Smith from the Permanent Collection of the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery

Bart Pragnell was born near Moose Jaw in 1907, and became a highly admired artist and art instructor who worked throughout western Canada. In his art work, which was mostly done in watercolor, he, “saw movement as a fundamental principle of life and was intrigued by its many and varied aspects: the movement of the human body, the travels of the human mind as it makes connections through layers of experience, and the invisible movement and transformation of matter.” This exhibition includes twenty-three outstanding pieces made over Pragnell’s career, that are drawn from the collection of the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery.
