Weir Facebook Posting: Sad News From Eastern Canada - Artist Molly Bobak Has Died Canadian Press is reporting the death of East Coast artist, 95-year old, Molly Bobak. Mrs. Bobak was the first female Canadian war artist and had a long successful career as an artist in New Brunswick. There were 32 official war artists in World War II and she was the last surviving member of that group . Born in British Columbia, she made a name for herself in Atlantic Canada. I took the above picture of Molly and her late husband, artist Bruno Bobak, in the Founders'Lounge a few years ago at the McMichael Canadian Gallery in Kleinburg, Ontario. The couple had travelled to Toronto to see Bruno's exhibition at the McMike.
