Part 1: Illi-Maria Harff Tamplin Collection
of Works on Paper by Ronald L. Bloore: *

Page 1: Early Drawings *

These images do not compare with the three other AGP sections. The early drawings are exceedingly subtle and our equipment was limited when we took the photos.

For the longest time our best image of an early drawing was the little 3 inch delight on the Splash Page.
But now there are two beautiful old drawings on the Bloores At Home page viewable in high resolution.

AGGV Dwg,'68

* Early Drawings

In this section are the 17 drawings done before 1970 that were in the 1988 AGP show, excluding sketches and working drawings (which are on page 4). They are discussed in the exhibition catalogue essay here.

* The Illi-Maria Harff Tamplin Collection of
Works on Paper by R. L. Bloore

The works in this section were part of the show assembled by Illi Tamplin in 1988. There were 82 pieces in the show, 78 of which belonged to the artist. These 78 were given by Bloore to the AGP on the occasion of the opening of the show as tribute to her efforts.

This story, as reported by the Globe and Mail, is on the site here, and Ms. Tamplin's essay for the catalogue of the exhibition is here.

* The Art Gallery of Peterborough
Permanent Collection

The AGP has accumulated probably the widest range of Bloores of any public gallery - most certainly in terms of works on paper. They have mounted a number of Bloore solo exhibitions, including a show of maquettes and monumental works from the mid-eighties, a large show, Bloore at 80 featuring the first Dark paintings in 2005 and in 2015 a show called With Bloore / After Bloore examining the painter's legacy and influence.
