January 26: Grant Maltman, Curator, Banting House
Frederick Banting’s name is synonymous with the cure for diabetes, but rarely is it associated with art-making. During the summer of 1920, Banting was in desperate need of a distraction, and a renewed interest in painting freed him from the worries of his personal and professional life. Curator Grant Maltman’s talk From Test Tubes to Paint Tubes traces the integral role art played in Banting’s life, from his period in London, Ontario (1920-21) until his death in Newfoundland (1941).
