Alex Colville (1920–2013), an emblematic figure of Canadian realism, captures the still majesty of sea and sail in Sailing. Floating between representation and abstraction, the poster’s composition isolates a single sail against a tranquil horizon, evoking both solitude and timelessness. Its pared-down structure—subtle gradations of sea and sky—reflects Colville’s hallmark clarity of form and contemplative mood.

Published by Mira Goddard Gallery for his Toronto show in 1978 (also exhibited in Montréal that October), Sailing exemplifies the empathetic restraint and philosophical depth that characterize his maritime works.
A potent visual statement in cool tones, this poster resonates with quiet reflection—embodying Colville’s subtle interrogation of everyday moments and the natural world.
