Hodgson‘s methods of paint application, his compositional use of color and line, plus his balance of positive and negative space take after the important Canadian painter, David Milne, to whom he openly acknowledges a debt. The doors, dating from 1820 to 1920, are a reflection of Canada‘s history and architecture and the purpose of the display is to convey the idea that doors in old Canaâ€" dian architecture were more than simply passages, but also fine pieces of artwork. _Among the most notable works are: Near Grand Valley, Wooded Hillside and Violets.
