Carl Renzius:  artist and sportsman.  Toronto, Warwick Publishing, 2001.

            169 p.  Illus.

  1. 144 -  “Western Sunlight, Last Mountain Lake, 1911”

                        “…remind me [RS] or paintings with similar treatment…by

                        the Canadian landscape painter and illustrator, C.W. Jefferys…

                        in particular, Jefferys’ Western Sunlight..”

                        “…Rungius’s Fall Round-up…could be the American cousins of

                        the old-timer astride his pinto in Jefferys’s [sic] In the Valley of

                        the Qu’Appelle (“Andante”).  For Jefferys, as for Rungius, in the

                        west there was ‘one line only, the horizon, which heat shimmers

                        frayed and tattered.  No line distinguishes the way grey-green sage

                        interrupted the sallow, pale luster of the short grass, not the way

                        hill turned from sunshine into browning purple shades.  Here no

                        perspective provided depth and distance.’  Did these two

                        contemporaries know of one another’s work?  Not likely, though

                        they shared a hero in Frederic Remington…”
