Bruce McCall was “very nearly unique among artists and writers of his quality,” Adam Gopnik writes. A sharp satirist in his creative work, McCall was “a perfect Canadian” in life: self-deprecating to a hilarious degree. Read about the late artist’s life:
But in life Bruce was, despite a sometimes gruff exterior, the most sympathetic and least abrasive of men: a perfect Canadian, raised in Simcoe and then Toronto, in a vast, intense, and varyingly unhappy family, whose fate he documented in his masterpiece, the memoir “.” A tale of gray-good Scots-Presbyterian Canada and its dowager-queen city, Toronto, at a period when it was at its grayest and goodest, the book describes the indignities of being a young Canadian yearning for the south.
Yet the spell of his art transcended the sweetness of his presence. His muse was tireless and inventive. Like any first-class artist of any kind, he was an incomparably hard worker. When we collaborated on the children’s fantasy “,” he astonished me by putting sober, precise imagery to my own slightly nebulous imaginative scenes. He was worried that he was not drawing the ten-year-old protagonist—a New York girl in a violet overcoat—correctly, and he suffered over it.
