- Notes
- A painting (ca. 1910) attributed to Tom Thomson was brought to the Canadian Conservation Institute (CCI) for treatment to address the instability of the cupped paint film and quilting of the unrestrained canvas. The aim of the treatment was to address condition issues with as minimal intervention as possible. Although complete removal of the quilting was not considered possible or desirable, a methodology for reduction of these deformations was devised. The canvas was exposed to repeated and increasing levels of controlled humidification and to flattening treatments on the vacuum hot table under low pressure and warming. After strip-lining, the painting was installed in a “Dutch stretcher” with turnbuckle joins for even and constant tensioning of the canvas during treatment. The cupping and cracking paint layer was consolidated as the deformations relaxed. In place of a lining, a sheet of Plexiglas was secured to the face of a newly constructed stretcher. This insert supports the canvas, acts as a buffer against rapid humidity changes, and allows for visibility of the verso.
