Carle Hessay: Reflections on the Man, His Art, and His Legacy

This is a short video recording of selected Carle Hessay's paintings exhibited at the Audain Gallery at the University of Victoria in May 2017. It was filmed by Guochen Wang and features a selection of Carle Hessay's war paintings, BC wilderness landscapes, and his futurist paintings.

Short descriptions follow the camera as individual paintings are viewed.

A special addition is that the background music is from a newly digitized version of an old cassette recording of Carle Hessay himself playing the piano at a friend's home in the early 1960s.
