Harold Town (1924-1990) remains one of the best-known and most intriguing artists from the "Painters Eleven" group.

Town's reputation was established in the late 1950s with a series of unique prints ("Single Autographic Prints") that included elements of collage. In 1956, he represented Canada at the Venice Biennale with these works.

Over the course of the following decades, the artist continued to reinvent his aesthetic, regularly changing medium and mood.

This work is a superlative example of Town’s fascination with the cinema and Hollywood characters.

This exploration culminated in 1971 with the drawing collection, “Silent Stars, Sound Stars, Film Stars,” which examined onscreen personas of popular Hollywood characters.

The collection includes three iterations of this drawing, each capturing the actor's alluring charm.

Printmaking is an essential element of Harold Town's reputation. Throughout his lengthy career, he completed significant and memorable bodies of work as a printmaker.

His portraits of celebrated icons, such as Rudolph Valentino, are paradigms from his exceptional career.
