Celebrating Canadian artist Oscar Cahén

Exuberant, flamboyant, colourful and lush. Just a few ways to describe the paintings of Oscar Cahén. Cahén died fifty years ago. He's considered one of Canada's most influential abstract artists... but outside of the art world, not too many Canadians know his name. Phlis McGregor and Heidi Petracek talk about Oscar Cahén.

"Cahén’s early death may well have robbed Canada of its potentially greatest painter.
No one in this country has ever shown a more complete command of the expressive resources of an artist."
