Graham Noble Norwell (1901-1967) was a Scottish-born Canadian painter best known for his portrayals of the rural landscape around the Laurentian Mountains in Québec. He employed simplified shapes and forms in his paintings in order to focus on colour and atmosphere rather than detail. Norwell’s family moved from Edinburgh to Montreal, Canada in 1914. He went on to study at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto under Arthur Lismer and George A. Reid. Norwell subsequently traveled throughout Europe, where he was taught by Augustus Edwin John. He exhibited with the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts from 1921–1943, and the Art Association of Montreal from 1922–1943. Today, his works are in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and the Art Gallery of Toronto, among others.
