The artwork titled “November,” created by Alex Colville in 1979, is a notable piece within the Contemporary Realism art movement. This landscape genre piece is part of the “Calendar, 1979” series.
The artwork depicts a Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) car parked along a gravel road with a dense forest landscape in the background. The scene is rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a realistic approach characteristic of Contemporary Realism. The mood conveyed by the artwork evokes a sense of stillness and solitude, reflective of the late autumn month it represents.
