dc.description.abstract C. Anthony Law was a classically trained artist whose style was rooted in the Group of Seven. He was also an accomplished and well-respected officer in the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), renowned for his intellect, skill at sea and for painting naval action during the Second World War. During the Cold War, Law carried on with his art and recorded RCN activities from the Arctic to Easter Island in addition to painting the landscape of Nova Scotia. Upon retirement from the RCN, Law was appointed the first artist-in-residence at Saint Mary's University (SMU) where he nurtured artistic minds for twelve years. Using leadership skills, fine-tuned on the bridges of Canadian warships, Law contributed significantly to the establishment of cultural institutions in Atlantic Canada, namely the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia and SMU's Art Gallery. 'An Artist's Paradise' explores Law's notable artistic and military careers. en_CA
