Westdale Gallery

Westdale Gallery WESTDALE GALLERY The gallery was founded in 1958 by Julius Lebow, an artist and teacher who primarily studied in Paris.

GALLERY BACKGROUND
The Westdale Gallery, known to be the first commercial gallery in the region of Hamilton-Wentworth, has been in existence for well over 40 years. Through his wealth of knowledge, and strength of integrity, The Westdale Gallery soon became a trusted center for private collectors and corporate buyers. Shortly following his death in 1988, the gallery was re-envisioned by Lebow's lo

ng time friend, and student, Linda MacRae. MacRae adheres to the same philosophies, principles, and tastes as the gallery's founder. As a result, she has amassed the same level of respect from private and corporate collectors world-wide. As we grew over the years the gallery has had many successful locations, the last of which was on Augusta Street in Hamilton. And now another exciting change is in place. We decided it was time to take the gallery on line completely and thereby join the wonderful world of on line stores where we will be able to offer so much more over the next few months. This is only the beginning so please stay in contact and keep returning to view the many new additions the site will be offering. Hopefully you will enjoy shopping at the new Westdale Gallery!

'Lesser artists borrow; great artists steal.' Pablo Picasso 🎨

Picasso first encountered the enigmatic ‘Madame Moitessier’ by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres at an exhibition in Paris, in 1921, and was enthralled. Over the next decade, he repeatedly referenced Ingres in his art and painted ‘Woman with a Book’, one of his most celebrated portraits, in homage to Ingres’s famous work.

For Ingres, a 19th-century French artist steeped in the academic tradition, the beautiful and wealthy Madame Moitessier represented the classical ideal. Wearing her finest clothes and jewellery, she gazes at the viewer majestically, the embodiment of luxury and style during the Second Empire. Picasso, born 100 years after Ingres, is famous for a very different, abstract style of art, but his inspiration is clear. The model for ‘Woman with a Book’, Picasso's then young mistress, Marie-Thérèse Walter, mimics Madame Moitessier’s distinct pose. The painting balances sensuality and restraint, striking a chord with the eroticism latent beneath Ingres’s image of bourgeois respectability.

Join us in the Gallery for our latest exhibition, ‘Picasso Ingres: Face to Face’, a unique opportunity to see these two iconic portraits, side by side, for the first time. Book your free tickets here: https://bit.ly/3fueiXh

O my Luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June:
O my Luve's like the melodie,
That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve!
And fare-thee-weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile!
