William Edward deGarthe was born in Kaskö, Sweden in 1907 and first studied in art in Finnishing school in Helsinki. deGarthe emigrated to Canada after finishing his military duty. His first work as an artist commanded $7 a week in pay.
In 1930 he made a quest to discover the most beautiful spot in the world. He settled in Nova Scotia.
It seems as though the finest art is about the Common People working the land and the seas. Making good with what the Lord has given us. Something we should return to.---ken
