Robert Ford Gagen travelled extensively across Canada, travelling to the Rocky and Selkirk Mountains to the Atlantic, as well as abroad to the US, the UK and Europe. In his later years he travelled regularly to the Bay of Fundy sketching and gathering materials to paint in his studio. An accomplished landscape painter, Gagen’s best work is considered his paintings of the sea and landscapes including seashores, rocks, waves, fishing boats. Inspired by his visits to the Atlantic coasts, he mastered the ability to capture maritime life and the effect of sunlight on shadow on the rocky coasts.
