NotesCanadian, Neo-Expressionist artist Arnold Wood was born in Toronto in 1930. Showing talent and creativity at an early age, Arnold Wood studied at Central Technical Arts in Toronto and was selected by the Junior Art for Peace Exchange Program co-sponsored by Canada and Russia during the height of the Cold War. He went on to study at Rochdale College in Indiana and the Ontario College of Art, then toured England, France, Italy, Austria, German and Russia. Critics from the publications Artspeak, Cover and Manhattan Arts called Wood’s work “expressive, texturally rich, complex,” as “reality reconstructed, moulded and remodeled” and noted that he “works in the style of great masters.” Wood was among the great many classical writers and fine and performing artists who struggled to overcome bipolar disorder. According to Jack Miller, an early champion of Wood at the Morin-Miller Gallery and a major collector of his work, it informed Wood’s style [as in his Bus Series] and themes, particularly the harlequins and columbines. In the last 20 years of his life he was at the peak of his creativity, exhibiting over 230 paintings at prestigious galleries in New York City alone. He was also featured in exhibitions in Toronto, Quebec, Philadelphia, and is in collections and museums in the US, Canada, France, Scotland, England, and Japan. The number of artist contemporaries who collected his work in Canada and the US were many.
