Ann MacIntosh Duff RCA (born 14 July 1925) is a Canadian artist known for her watercolor paintings.[1]
Biography
She was born in Toronto, the daughter of John MacIntosh and Constance Hamilton Duff.[2] The painter and graphic artist Walter R. Duff was her father`s cousin.[3] She works at one of two places - at her home in Toronto or at her Georgian Bay cottage at Pointe au Baril, Ontario.[4] She paints from memory, landscapes of the mind, as she calls them.[4]
In 1951, MacIntosh Duff became a member of the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (CSPWC)[5] and remained an active member for thirty years. In 1959, she began working with Douglas Duncan at the Picture Loan Society until Duncan’s death in 1968.[5] She was also an active member of the Ontario Society of Artists (she was elected in 1961) and the Canadian Society of Graphic Art (elected 1963) and the Royal Canadian Academy (1973).[5] In 2007, the Tom Thomson Art Gallery in Owen Sound held a retrospective of MacIntosh Duff’s work titled To Love and To Cherish.
Maria Tippett describes Duff’s 1895 painting Woman By the Sea as "half Primitive, half Symbolist", noting that the painting contains a "sense of monumentality and timelessness".[6]
Her work is included in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada[1] and the Royal Collection, as part of the Royal Collection Project.[7] In 1977, she was awarded the Queen`s Jubilee Medal; in 1984, she received an Honorary Award from the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour.[2] She is represented in Toronto by the Nicholas Metivier Gallery.
