| 释义 |
She was born in Drumbo, Ontario and studied art with Mary Dignam in Toronto and with John Vanderpoel at the Art Institute of Chicago. At first, Aitken painted portraits in oil but switched to painting flowers in watercolour after finding out that lead in the oil paints was affecting her health.[3] She married Captain Robert James Aitken; the couple had three children. He was killed in action during World War I.[3] After spending some time overseas, she returned to Sault Ste. Marie, later moving to Victoria and then Vancouver.[4] Her work was included in exhibitions at the Royal Academy in London, Ontario, at the Royal Canadian Academy, at the Salon des artistes français in Paris, at spring shows of the Art Association of Montreal, at the Victoria Art Gallery and at the Vancouver Art Gallery.[4] Around 1920, she published a collection of poems Maple Grove, and Other Poems.[4] Aitken died in Vancouver at the age of 79.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://app.pch.gc.ca/application/aac-aic/artiste_detailler_ind-artist_detail_ind.app?rID=109&fID=2&lang=en&qlang=en&pID=1&anm=Aitken%2C+Melita&sort=AM_ASC&ps=50&pID1=7&ps1=50&ansf=TAM&sort1=ascending |title=Artist/Maker name "Aitken, Melita" |work=Artists in Canada}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Aitken, Melita}}2. ^{{cite web |url=https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FLG1-BH3 |title=Person Details for Melita Aitken |work=British Columbia Death Registrations, 1872-1986; 1992-1993 |publisher=FamilySearch}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.guelphmercury.com/news-story/5714567-a-case-for-captain-aitken-s-name-to-be-added-to-guelph-cenotaph/ |title=A case for Captain Aitken’s name to be added to Guelph cenotaph |newspaper=Guelph Mercury |date=July 8, 2015}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://cwahi.concordia.ca/sources/artists/displayArtist.php?ID_artist=186 |title=Aitken, Melita |work=Canadian Women Artists History Initiative}} 8 : 1866 births|1945 deaths|Canadian women painters|Canadian watercolourists|Canadian women poets|20th-century Canadian artists|20th-century Canadian poets|20th-century Canadian women writers |
