Picasso, Matisse, Carr and Thomson among 15,000 works of art

By Paula Worthington

The University of Lethbridge Art Gallery is likely the only place in the world where you can see works by famed Canadian artist, Bill Reid next to a Picasso… yes, a real Picasso.

Forget the halls of the Louvre or National Art Gallery, Lethbridge is home to national and international art treasures, which can be explored for free.

Some of these exhibit masterpieces are thanks to a generous donation by Dr. Margaret (Marmie) Perkins Hess, who gifted more than 1,000 pieces from her collection, including Canadian icons like Tom Thomson, Emily Carr and members of the Group of Seven, First Nations and Inuit artists, and of course, Picasso and Matisse.
