Description: A Friberg Canadian Mountie in Canoe Litho print Vintage TNPC Northwest Paper AdvertisingArnold Friberg (December 21, 1913 – July 1, 2010) Beginning in 1931, "TNPC" Northwest Paper Company commissioned nearly 400 paintings and illustrations in watercolor, oil and line drawings, which were used to merchandise the company's printing papers. The illustrations of the RCMP in their distinctive red surge uniforms were an instant advertising success.In all, 16 artists created Mountie illustrations for Northwest Paper from 1931 until 1970, when it was determined the collection was large enough to meet the company's future marketing needs.The most prolific and best known of this group is Arnold Friberg. Although most of his works were in oil, Friberg's first work for the company in 1937 was in watercolor. Over the next 33 years, he sold paintings or reproduction rights on 208 Mountie subjects to Northwest Paper. Friberg also is well known for his western and biblical illustrations. The latter interest led to a monumental painting and costume design project for Cecil B. DeMille's film The Ten Commandments, which earned Friberg an Academy Award.
