    UNIVERSITY OF REGINA ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS THE DR JOHN ARCHER LIBRARY 86-29 KEN LOCHHEAD SHELLEY SWEENEY JULY 31, 1986 REVISED JANUARY 2004 BY ELIZABETH SEITZ 86-29 KEN LOCHHEAD 2 / 24 Biographical Sketch Ken Lochhead was born in Ottawa in 1926. His major art training came from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia (1945-1949). At the same time Lochhead studied at the Barnes Foundation in Merlon, Philadelphia from 1946 to 1948. Several scholarships allowed him to study in England, Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and western Canada. After several short assignments, Lochhead was hired by the University of Saskatchewan, Regina College in 1950 to direct the School of Art. He was also charged by Dean William Riddell to develop what became the Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery. Under Lochhead's guidance, both the School and the Gallery flourished, attracting vibrant personalities and generating excitement. At this time Lochhead developed a distinctive style, producing such notable works as "The Kite" (1952). "The Dignitary" and "The Bonspiel" (1954). As well, he began to win major commissions, completing an enormous wall mural at Gander Airport in Newfoundland in 1957-1958. It was Lochhead's creation of the Emma Lake Artists' Workshops, however, that attracted the most attention to the prairie region. With the summer series led by such New York artists as Herman Cherry, Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland, and Jules Olitski, international attention was suddenly focused to the north. The results were tremendous: a veritable burst of excited experimentation and innovation. Lochhead himself produced such abstract works as "Blue Extension" and "Dark Green Centre" (1963).

It must be felt and this is how I think about it. It is a way of life. I feel that colour through painting is primary. It is the one element in painting that gives meaning to light, line, and space. - Kenneth Lochhead, 1972 At the young age of twenty-four Kenneth Lochhead was hired by the University of Saskatchewan, Regina College, to direct the School of Art and to develop what became the Norman MacKenzie Art Gallery. Nearly six decades later, Ken’s art adorns the halls and library of the University of Regina to be enjoyed by faculty, staff, visitors, and students alike – many of whom are similar in age to Ken when he began his career here. I am thrilled that a selection of Ken’s many beautiful pieces make up the 2019 exhibition, Colour is of the Senses at the University of Regina President’s Residence. Special thanks to Dr. Jacqui Shumiatcher who has graciously donated many of Ken’s works to the University Collection and to Ken’s family, particularly Joanne Lochhead, whose thoughtful generosity through donations of Ken’s work spanning his long career have ensured that Ken will be remembered and honoured on our campus.

  • Canadian and American Abstract Painting: Intersections in the Work of Clyfford Still and Kenneth Lochhead
    CANADIAN AND AMERICAN ABSTRACT PAINTING: INTERSECTIONS IN THE WORK OF CLYFFORD STILL AND KENNETH LOCHHEAD Katherine Meredith Clyfford Still is at once a legendary figure in the history of modern art, and an unknown painter whose oeuvre has been tightly restricted from public access. Those who do know his work are familiar with Still as a leader of the Abstract Expressionist movement, and associate the artist with his immense and colourful abstract canvases. Although these represent his most significant and influential works, what is constantly overlooked when discussing Still’s career is the fact that he spent most of his youth in rural Alberta, where he began to paint. Born in North Dakota in 1904, Still’s family moved to Bow Island, just outside of Edmonton, in 1911. He lived there until he attended college in Washington State, although he returned to Canada during the summers as well as regularly throughout the rest of his life. Little is known of this part of Still’s career. This is partly because Still was a very private person who hid from the public, and who usually refused to comment on any of his art, as well as the strict conditions on his estate, left by the artist following his death in 1980. At Still’s wishes, his estate remained hidden from public access until an American city was willing to build a museum dedicated to his art and archives. Consequently, for a very well-known artist of the twentieth century, there is little known of him, particularly during his early years as a figurative painter.
