Show detail Hide detail

Robert Pilot in addition to being a painter, and illustrator was an accomplished print-maker in the medium of etching. He seems to have chosen to work in a medium unexplored by his famous step-father Maurice Cullen. His etchings were produced in only limited quantities making them quite unique today. Pilot became a professor of engraving at the École des Beaux-Arts in 1938. The setting of this work is significant as Maurice Cullen moved to Chambly in 1926, retiring there in a stone building where he set up a studio. He lived the rest of his life there until his death in 1934, at a time when Pilot was active in the art community of Montreal.
