Biographical Sketch: Robert Stacey was born on July 2nd, 1949 in , . He was the son of Harold Stacey, a silversmith, and Margaret Stacey, an elementary school teacher. He attended Northview Heights Secondary School where he was recognized by many of his teachers for his precocious writing talent and where he wrote his earliest essays, short stories, plays, and poems. Stacey went on to study at the where as an undergraduate he became involved with Dora Mavor Moore’s New Play Society and Douglass Chambers’ PAN Gallery.

Stacey travelled to England in the early 1970’s, where he lived briefly in London working for the renowned art bookseller Anton Zwemmer. At about this time Stacey’s career as an art critic began to grow, cemented in part by his exhaustive researching of his maternal grandfather, the highly regarded Canadian painter C.W. Jefferys. This culminated in the exhibition “Charles William Jefferys, 1869-1951” (Agnes Etherington Art Centre,1976) and the later publication of the biography, C.W Jefferys (National Gallery of Canada, 1985).

For the rest of his life Stacey was deeply involved in the world of Canadian Art, working as a freelance writer, editor, and curator. In 1991-1992 Stacey won the first Fellowship in Canadian Art at the National Gallery of Canada. He was writer-in-residence at the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 1997. And he was the founder of the imprint Archives of Canadian Art and Design.

He contributed to numerous exhibition catalogues including: The Big Show! Andrew King's Show Prints, 1919-1958 (Dunlop Art Gallery, Regina, 1987); The True North: Canadian Landscape Painting, 1896-1939 (Lund Humphries/Barbican Art Gallery, London, 1991); Visions of Light and Air: Canadian Impressionism, 1885-1925 (Americas Society, New York, 1995), Massanoga: The Art of Bon Echo (Archives of Canadian Art, 1998), and North by South: The Art of Peleg Franklin Brownell 1853-1946 (Ottawa Art Gallery, Archives of Canadian Art and Design, 1998).

His published books include: Lives and Works of the Canadian Artists (editor, Dundurn Press, 1977), The Canadian Poster Book: 100 Years of the Poster in Canada (Methuen, 1979); and J.E.H. MacDonald, Designer: an Anthology of Graphic Design, Illustration and Lettering (Archives of Canadian Art, 1996. Stacey

MS Stacey (Robert) Papers Coll 00127H Robert Stacey died in 2008 and is survived by his partner of many years, Maggie Keith.

Scope & Content: Collection consists of unpublished poetry, short fiction, draft essays and personal writing and some small amount of correspondence. Many of the items enclosed are also adorned with sketches, doodles and drafts of unrelated works. Stacey took inspiration from many sources: history, current events, phrases and idioms, and events in his own life.

These materials arrived in nine boxes, packaged by Stacey before his death, from the National Gallery of Art, and form part of Stacey’s fonds, split with The National Gallery Archives. Where possible, original order has been maintained, the main exceptions being the removal to separate folders of items whose small or unusual shape might cause them to be lost or damaged if mixed in with full- size items, and the gathering of materials by genre in cases in which they were interspersed. Best effort was made to match page to page, but because Stacey often did not title, or even complete, every draft of his assorted poems and prose there is a strong likelihood that some of the writing (particularly the poetry) has been mismatched. Additionally, Stacey at times writes autobiographically using conventions of either poetry or fiction and though some effort has been made to distinguish the proper series an item belongs to, the hybrid and/or ambiguous nature of his writing at times also makes this exercise a question of best guesses.

Materials are divided into six series: Series 1: Poetry Series 2: Collections Series 3: Short Fiction & Plays Series 4: Essays Series 5: Personal writing and miscellaneous items Series 6: Correspondence

Series 1: Poetry

Dates: 1965-1991

Physical Description: 24 boxes, ca. 3 metres of textual records.

Scope & Content: Series consists of holograph, typescript and word processed poetry. Though he was well-regarded in his lifetime as a leading expert on Canadian art, Stacey also wrote extensive amounts of poetry for several decades. This was largely done in private; his efforts in this area were a little known fact, even among close friends. Frequent switching from type to handwriting, from pencil to pen of different coloured inks, continuation of a work on different sizes of paper, indicate that wrote most of his poems in multiple sittings, in multiple locations, using

2

MS Stacey (Robert) Papers Coll 00127H whatever materials were at hand when the feeling took him. As a medium, poetry appears to have served Stacey’s inclination to play with language, a preference for description over narrative, adjective and adverb over noun and verb. Despite producing a prodigious amount of it, Stacey never published any of his poetry, on the whole, appearing to have written it primarily for his own pleasure. However, as evidenced by several items of correspondence and personal writing, as well as Stacey’s frequent editing of his poems and organizing of this material into possible collections (see Series 2), he did have some thought to publishing. Titles for poems, in many instances, are taken from first lines. Several items are written under the pen names “George Roberts” and “G.H. Roberts.”

Box 18 Folders 1 through 8 contain items, almost exclusively poetry, originally contained 17 folders within one manila envelope and appear to have been designated by Stacey for inclusion in a collection of poetry. His tentative title appears to have been “Cronus” (see folder 1) and he used an elemental coding scheme for his poems: Earth, Water, Air & Fire. Folders of this material have therefore been designated “Cronus Collection.” Stacey drew these materials together from a range of items written over a period of several years.

Series 3: Short Fiction and Plays

Dates: 1964-1986

Physical description: 3 boxes, ca. 35 cm of textual records.

Scope and content: Series consists of short fiction and plays written by Stacey. In the early years of his writing efforts Stacey’s wrote nearly as much short fiction as he did poetry. By the early seventies he appears to have largely abandoned short fiction with only a handful of items apparently written post 1972. There were only two plays contained in the original Stacey accession and these can be found in the folder 9 and 10 of box 29. As with his poetry, there is evidence, at least early on, that Stacey attempted to have his work published or performed, though there is no evidence that it was.
