 Thomas Harold Beament RCA, CSGA (1898-1984)

Thomas Harold Beament RCA, CSGA (1898 - 1984)

Harold Beament was born in Ottawa in 1898 died in 1984 in Montréal. He attended the Ontario College of Art in 1922 where he trained under J.W Beatty. Beament settle in Montreal, where he was a graphic designer, teacher and commander of a division of RVMRC in peacetime. Beament taught at the Montreal Museum of Fine Art and received the coveted Jessie Dow Prize in 1935 at the Montreal Spring Exhibition. From 1943 to 1947, he was one of the few official war artists for World War II. After retiring from the navy in 1947, Beament embarked upon a journey to live with and study Inuit peoples of Baffin Island. Along with Lawren Harris and A. Y. Jackson, he was one of the first artists to explore the Arctic and the culture of the Inuit people. It was during these trips that Beament produced the paintings for which he is most famous and introduced Canadians to a people living in one of the most remote locations on Earth.

In 1955, Beament was honoured to design a series of ten-cent stamps with Inuit figures for Canada Post. He became an associate of the Royal Canadian Academy in 1936 and full member in 1947. He served as president from 1964 to 1967.

Thomas Harold Beament RCA, CSGA (1898 - 1984)

Harold Beament est né à Ottawa en 1898 décédé en 1984 à Montréal. Il fréquente l'Ontario College of Art en 1922, où il se forme auprès de J.W Beatty. Beament s'installe à Montréal, où il est graphiste, enseignant et commandant d'une division du RVMRC en temps de paix. Beament a enseigné au Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal et a reçu le très convoité prix Jessie Dow en 1935 à l'Exposition de printemps de Montréal. De 1943 à 1947, il est l'un des rares artistes de guerre officiels de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Après avoir pris sa retraite de la marine en 1947, Beament a entrepris un voyage pour vivre avec les peuples inuits de l'île de Baffin et les étudier. Avec Lawren Harris et A. Y. Jackson, il a été l'un des premiers artistes à explorer l'Arctique et la culture du peuple inuit. C'est au cours de ces voyages que Beament a produit les peintures pour lesquelles il est le plus célèbre et a présenté aux Canadiens un peuple vivant dans l'un des endroits les plus reculés de la Terre.

En 1955, Beament a eu l'honneur de concevoir une série de timbres de dix cents avec des personnages inuits pour Postes Canada. Il est devenu associé de l'Académie royale du Canada en 1936 et membre à part entière en 1947. Il en a été le président de 1964 à 1967.
