For the first time in its 50-year history the Beaverbrook Art Gallery of New Brunswick, Canada, is sending to the U.S. 75 of its best paintings and drawings from its masterworks collection.

The traveling exhibition – Masterworks from the Beaverbrook Art Gallery – reflects the museum’s principal holdings of British, International and Canadian art. From Lucas Cranach’s Lucretia through Salvador Dali’s Santiago El Grande, American museums will be able to host the collection as it was conceived by William Maxwell Aitken (Lord Beaverbrook), who founded the museum and filled it with unsurpassed works by Constable, Copley, Delacroix, Freud, Gainsborough, Matisse, Reynolds, Sargent, Sickert, Spencer, Sutherland, Turner, Carr and members of the Group of Seven.

EDG’s second “Canadian” collection comes from the Dennos Museum Center at Northwestern Michigan College, which houses one of the largest and most historically complete U.S. collections of Inuit Art from the Canadian Arctic.

It begins with the story of how one Canadian, James Houston, taught the Inuit to parley their native art into a commercial success. This collection of contemporary art begins with the primitive sculptures of the traditional Inuit carvers and continues to the more sophisticated art of the 21st century. The exhibition, Expressions of Arctic Tradition: Contemporary Inuit Art, comprises 80 works: 43 sculptures in bone and stone and 37 stonecut, stencil and lithographic prints. The exhibit will open its first venue on September 23 at the Detroit Zoo and be on view through January 16, 2011.
