Gus Kenderdine:Pioneer Artist


March 31, 1870 to August 3, 1947


It was the stories of the Barr colonists which led Augustus Kenderdine to bring his family to Lashburn, Saskatchewan
Lashburn, Saskatchewan
-Demographics:-External links:...

 in 1908. Already recognized in England and on the Continent for his abilities as a landscape and portrait artist, Gus Kenderdine had planned to stay only the three years needed to prove up the homestead. But he loved this land with its vast expanses, its ever-changing sky and glorious sunsets, and, in particular, its northern lakes and forests. He stayed for a lifetime.


Gus Kenderdine was a true visionary. He became the first Professor of Art and Head of the Department of Art at the University of Saskatchewan, teaching in both Regina

. Not only did he continue to share his joy in the natural world through painting, he dreamed of giving others the opportunity to develop their skill in that setting. The Murray Point Art School, now known as the Kenderdine Campus of the University of Saskatchewan, was the result of his dedication and perseverance. Hundreds of artists from across North America and beyond have been inspired, and, in turn, enriched the lives of others through sharing in this legacy.


It is with humility and gratitude that we pay tribute to the life and work of Gus Kenderdine, pioneer artist.

Kloppenburg Collection

The Kloppenburg Collection is featured on the 6th floor of the College of Agriculture and Bioresources building which opened in 1991. 27 works by famous Saskatchewan artists are featured in this donation to the University of Saskatchewan. The art forming the Kloppenburg College of the College of Agriculture and Bioresources was donated by Henry R Kloppenburg QC, a Saskatchewan Rhodes Scholar, and Cheryl L Kloppenburg. They are well known art collectors and patrons of the arts in Saskatchewan. They are practicing lawyers in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with a longtime interest in the arts and agriculture.

Leo Kristjanson Atrium

This atrium is named in honour of Leo F. Krisjanson, President of the University of Saskatchewan, 1980-1989, who brought the dream of an agricultural sciences complex to fruition. He saw the goal of establishing a Canadian and world centre of agricultural excellence for teaching, research and public service as a continuation of the spirit and determination of Saskatchewan's first pioneers, who endured against many challenges in establishing prairie agriculture. He was convinced that this pioneering spirit could be extended to all aspects of the University's endeavours. In Dr. Kristjanson's words: "In a land of great distances and physical hardship, co-operation, the sense of community, and a mutual regard for the well-being of one's neighbour, created a legacy that enabled its people to write large - to build far greater than circumstances seemed to warrant. Like the pioneers of yesterday, we must continue to plan for a better future - a future where we can continue to write large; a future where co-operation and respect for the dignity of the individual allows all to make their contribution."

Agricultural Displays

The agricultural wall displays are located in the walkway connecting the Agriculture Building and the Biology Building.
