17. In trying to tease out Colville's narratives, impossible to ignore that as solider in 1945 he saw Bergen-Belsen shortly after liberation

18. Very rarely in Colville do we get an fully unimpeded human face. Humanity is a species we can't look in the eye.

19. Colville's animals in a number of paintings face us squarely, his people very rarely.

20. Colville's people aren't ready to disclose themselves to us too quickly, they bear burdens that we have to guess at.

21. Colville's dates are 1920-2013. Aside from huge influence of war, he came to maturity as an artist in post-war era, 1945-1960.

22. Forget cliches of post-war boom. Colville's period was age of anxiety, existentialism, angst, suppressed fears, foreboding.

23. Exhibit connects Colville to Alice Munro (AC's painting adorns a collection) but John Cheever is perhaps pertinent literary analogue

25. In conclusion, lots of richness in AGO's Colville exhibit. Go see it if you have a chance.
