	Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
		Krieghoff’s impulsive temperament was probably ill suited to lengthy study; he painted from life and without the help of preliminary sketches.
		Scott, lost in admiration, exclaimed: “We have seen paintings of Krieghoff, sunsets of a brilliancy that truly recalls the marvellous splendours of the western sky, and permits us to affirm that the richness of his palette was in no way inferior to the finest examples of this genre in the museums of Europe.
		Krieghoff as a genre painter is undeniably pleasing, and his regionalism, far from lessening the value of his art, adds a component to the vast current of ideas centring around the peasant, both in Europe and in America.

		Krieghoff's works could be acquired in various ways.
		The fact that a number of Krieghoff's works appeared in exhibition and for sale in Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York City and other US centres indicates that he benefited from dealer representation south of the border.

		Krieghoff also took part in a Toronto show that included the works of Paul Kane and was commissioned to paint some “documentary portraits” of wealthy fur merchants wrapped in fur robes and sitting in sleighs.

	Re: Reading Klein's "Krieghoff: Cailligrammes"
		Krieghoff's Indian scenes are based on the Iroquois people of Caughnawaga, a village on the south shore of the St. Lawrence.
		Krieghoff, however, did no more than hint at this fate; for him, "the Indian was primarily a symbol of 'the native' "(Harper 52).
		The two colours of "Krieghoff: Calligrammes" are easily bled from the iris eye of language, for the poem suggests that language itself is a rainbow, spinning a coat of many colours.

	Krieghoff: Images of Canada by Carolyn Machardy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In his Preface to Krieghoff: Images of Canada, Dennis Reid describes Krieghoff as `the best-known but least-understood nineteenth-century Canadian artist.' This is surely no longer the case, thanks to this impressive book and the accompanying retrospective exhibition which is travelling to major galleries across Canada, closing in Montreal on 8 October 2001.
		The Krieghoff that emerges from the wealth of material and interpretation offered by this book's three essayists is far more interesting than the facile genre painter popularized through frequent reproduction of works such as Merrymaking.
		Krieghoff, who lived in various locations in Quebec between 1840 and 1871, was a prolific artist - as well as doing prints, he painted portraits, landscapes, and scenes with habitants and aboriginal people, and he frequently repeated themes such as habitants socializing at the Jolifou Inn or bilking the toll.
