Morrice's sketch books had never, until now, been considered as primary sources for the study of this artist's life and works.
Sketch book No. 7420 can be accurately dated from the winter of 1896-1897, for Morrice left Paris at the end of November 1896 to spend the winter and spring months in Canada, including an extended stay at Beaupré and Quebec City.
Morrice used some of the drawings he made in Quebec City and Beaupré as a basis for canvases probably painted in Canada.

In the majority of his panel paintings, executed in a Post-Impressionist and Symbolist style, Morrice tends to distance himself from the various outdoor genre scenes he executes and he imbues his figures with a certain anonymity and melancholia.
This sense of separation and detachment may be interpreted as a means of concealing certain sentiments from public knowledge, even as it also raises questions about why the artist is so detached and melancholy.
Morrice's delicately executed pictures contrast sharply with the monumental works of Florence Wyle (1881-1968) and Frances Loring (1887-1968).

ntil now, Morrice had painted mostly landscapes; Blanche, exhibited in 1912, is the first of a series of portraits and model studies (note that the screen in the background is the same in the two works).
rinidad marks the beginning of a new period: having abandoned the wood panel sketches for watercolours, Morrice transposes its technique, lighter and more fluid, into the paintings done after his trip: freer style, very light paint, contours underlined in a slightly darker tone; a reminiscence of Gauguin, perhaps, but the Canadian Morrice prefers colder tones.
The artistic stimulation he sought from them, rather than a weakness, gave this diffident man the freedom to express the poetry and music that were central to his own creativity.

In 1901, Kelly moved from London to live in Paris where he took lessons from the Canadian Impressionist artist James Wilson Morrice, who advised him to paint out in the open, making small oil sketches as an exercise.
From his early training in Paris (under Canadian Impressionist painter James Wilson Morrice), Kelly was encouraged to sketch frequently en plein air.
For this purpose he used small prepared wooden panels and was especially skilled at allowing the natural colour of the wooden panel to add luminosity to the painting.

By the time he died in 1934 at his country retreat in Chambly, he was revered not only by the young rebels he had inspired in his lean years but by the wider Canadian public as well.
Unlike his friend Morrice, with whom he sometimes sketched on the Ile d'Orléans below Quebec, Cullen preferred to paint out of doors, even in the coldest weather, in order to capture the effect of sunlight on snow.
He was one of the first Canadian artists to recognize the fact that snow shadows reflect the blue of the sky, and he did not hesitate to abandon the gentle haze of the French impressionists for the sharp clarity of the Canadian atmosphere.

Robert Henri's career as an art professional can be traced to his third trip to Europe during 1895-1896, and his meeting the Canadian artist James Wilson Morrice.
Admittedly, Henri had produced a few notable works prior to that time, but his nearly five years of art classes in Philadelphia and Paris had resulted in a long line of exercises involving copies of Greek and Roman statues, anatomical and figure studies, and compositions of historical and biblical subjects.
It was Morrice who introduced Henri to the practice of painting pochades on tiny wood panels that could be carried in one's coat pocket along with a handful of brushes and a few tubes of oil.
