The collection of work by artists of national significance with connections to Winnipeg and Manitoba is particularly strong: among them are Peter Rindisbacher, Mary Ritter Hamilton, W.J. Phillips, L.L. FitzGerald, Bertram Brooker, William Kurelek, and Ivan Eyre. WAG-Qaumajuq is also home to important works by 19th century painters Cornelius Kreighoff, George Reid, and Homer Watson; modern Canadian landscape works by Tom Thomson, Emily Carr, and the Group of Seven; figurative modernists such as J.W. Morrice, David Milne, Elizabeth Wyn Wood, Prudence Heward, and Christiane Pflug; and choice examples of mid-century abstract modernists such as by Jean-Paul Riopelle, Paul-Emile Borduas, and Jack Bush.
