Harold Barling Town, OC D.Litt (June 13, 1924 – December 27, 1990) was a Canadian artist who worked in many different media, but is best known for his abstract paintings.
[4] Gerta Moray in Harold Town: Life & Work described his collages as similar to his paintings, because in them he juxtaposed textures and fragments to startle the viewer.
[2] These won him awards in Ljubljana, Yugoslavia and Santiago, Chile, and the prints were acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
[12][13] The Riverside Museum in New York hosted the Twentieth Annual Exhibition of American Abstract Artists with 'Painters Eleven' of Canada in 1956.
[15] In the Canadian press, the group's most ardent supporters were Robert Fulford and Pearl McCarthy, art critic of the Globe and Mail.
