John Richard Fox was a painter, sculptor, collagist, watercolourist and draftsman, as well as an educator who lived in Montreal most of his life. His work beginning in the late 1950s moved easily from representation to abstraction in 1972 and in 1986, back again to representation. He regarded the two different aspects to his work as having the same concerns. He was often praised as a colorist and for his rich surfaces and subtlety of effects, even in his abstract work. As has been recognized increasingly since the 1990s, Fox’s paintings and particularly his abstractions are a valuable part of Canadian modernism.
