  • Quaderni D'italianistica : Revue Officielle De La Société Canadienne
    ANGELO PRINCIPE CENTRING THE PERIPHERY. PRELIMINARY NOTES ON THE ITALLVN CANADL\N PRESS: 1950-1990 The Radical Press From the end of the Second World War to the 1980s, eleven Italian Canadian radical periodicals were published: seven left-wing and four right- wing, all but one in Toronto.' The left-wing publications were: II lavoratore (the Worker), La parola (the Word), La carota (the Carrot), Forze nuove (New Forces), Avanti! Canada (Forward! Canada), Lotta unitaria (United Struggle), and Nuovo mondo (New World). The right-wing newspapers were: Rivolta ideale (Ideal Revolt), Tradizione (Tradition), // faro (the Lighthouse or Beacon), and Occidente (the West or Western civilization). Reading these newspapers today, one gets the impression that they were written in a remote era. The socio-political reality that generated these publications has been radically altered on both sides of the ocean. As a con- sequence of the recent disintegration of the communist system, which ended over seventy years of East/West confrontational tension, in Italy the party system to which these newspapers refer no longer exists. Parties bear- ing new names and advancing new policies have replaced the older ones, marking what is now considered the passage from the first to the second Republic- As a result, the articles on, or about, Italian politics published ^ I would like to thank several people who helped in different ways with this paper. Namely: Nivo Angelone, Roberto Bandiera, Damiano Berlingieri, Domenico Capotorto, Mario Ciccoritti, Elio Costa, Celestino De luliis, Odoardo Di Santo, Franca lacovetta, Teresa Manduca, Severino Martelluzzi, Roberto Perin, Concetta V.

  • Lawren Harris' Painting
    Lawren Harris’ painting ‘Little House’ casts a golden light on the city of Toronto Toronto Star By: Deborah Dundas January 9, 2021 Original URL: https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/visualarts/2021/01/09/lawren-harris-painting- little-house-casts-a-golden-light-on-the-city-of-toronto.html Sometimes the things that seem most familiar deserve a new eye. A house in the city, for example. A winter’s day. When we think of Group of Seven artist Lawren Harris, the first images that spring to mind are his stark landscapes. However, as Sarah Milroy, chief curator of the McMichael Canadian Collection notes, after he returned to Canada from studying in Germany in 1908, he painted Toronto houses, particularly homes in The Ward, a neighbourhood that housed working-class immigrants. (Parts of The Ward were demolished from the early 1900s through to the 1960s to make way for municipal buildings including City Hall and the hospital district.) “He was interested in the gritty texture of urban life,” says Milroy, adding that it wasn’t until many years later that he painted the landscapes that would make his work some of the most recognizable in the country, helping to define how Canadians see ourselves. Interestingly, those landscapes would cause the Group of Seven to be accused of creating the myth of an unpopulated land by leaving out the Indigenous peoples who lived here before settlers came, by leaving out the immigrants who were the engine of the country’s astonishing growth at that time — some of which Harris captured in his Toronto paintings and drawings.

  • Group of Seven / Tom Thomson Mural Proposal by the Friends of the Dwight Library
    Group of Seven / Tom Thomson Mural Proposal by the Friends of the Dwight Library Proposal: The Friends of the Dwight Library propose to commission an artist to complete a mural of a Group of Seven or Tom Thomson painting that reflects the local landscape, and to have the mural erected in 2017 on the easterly end of the Dwight Community Centre at 1014 Dwight Beach Road. Goals: 1) Commemorate the Sesquicentennial (150th) Anniversary of Canada, as well as the 100th Anniversary of the death of Canadian artist Tom Thomson; 2) Beautify the Dwight Community Centre and Library; and 3) Enhanced marketing of Dwight and area by becoming a participant in the Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery initiative and become a location on the mobile tour advertised in the Huntsville/Lake of Bays/Algonquin area under the website www.TheGroupOfSevenOutdoorGallery.ca, as well as their Tour Guide, with a view to helping to increase exposure and visitation to the community. Request: That the Council of the Township of Lake of Bays approve the installation of the proposed mural, and perhaps up to three others should other individuals, groups or businesses be interested, on the walls of the Dwight Community Centre. Background: The Group of Seven Outdoor Gallery is a world class mural collection that was started in 1997 by artist Gerry Lantaigne, and are re-creations of paintings by famous Canadian artists The Group of Seven and Tom Thomson, who began painting extensively in this region over 100 years ago.

  • NATIONAL GALLERY of CANADA and the VANCOUVER ART GALLERY
    Exhibition Reviews 157 Exhibition Reviews Emily Carr: New Perspectives on a Canadian Icon . NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA and the VANCOUVER ART GALLERY. Mounted at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa. 2 June–4 September 2006. Accompanying publication: Charles Hill, Johanne Lamoureux, and Ian M. Thom. Emily Carr: New Perspectives on a Canadian Icon. Toronto: Douglas McIntyre, 2006. 335 p. ISBN 1-55365-173-1. Another exhibition about Emily Carr could not be unpopular , could it? Everyone, even schoolchildren, has at least heard of Emily Carr . As a child, I first noticed her when snooping through my father ’s art books, where I found Emily Carr, Her Paintings and Sketches, the exhibition catalogue for the 1945 memorial show put on after her death by the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Ontario. The odd cover image of fantastic totem creatures near bundled Native women made me look inside, and there I saw massive plasticine structures in the forms of buildings, trees, and columns. That moment of discovery bubbled up again when I entered the 2006 show , organ- ized by the National Gallery of Canada and the Vancouver Art Gallery. My anticipation grew, knowing that Emily Carr ’s paintings were waiting silently beyond the first doorway, simmering with their intensity and grandeur. The concept of this show was a key element of the Vancouver Art Gallery’s seventy-fifth anniversary plans, since the Emily Carr collection is an important part of the Gallery’ s holdings. What was planned was a fresh look at the artist that involved revisiting the major twentieth-century exhibitions that had formerly presented her work, an honest presentation that would rely on new sources and perhaps dispel or at least deflate myths or assumptions about the artist.

Silcox. The artworks within this guide and images required for the learning activities and culminating task can be found in the Tom Thomson Image File provided. Tom Thomson (1877–1917) is one of Canada’s most famous artists: his landscape paintings of northern Ontario have become iconic artworks, well-known throughout the country and a critical touchstone for Canadian artists. Thomson was passionate about the outdoors, and he was committed to experimenting with new ways to paint landscape. He had several friends who shared these interests, such as A.Y. Jackson (1882–1974), Lawren Harris (1885–1970), and J.E.H. MacDonald (1873–1932); a few years after his premature death, these friends helped establish the Group of Seven, a collection of artists often credited with transforming Canadian art by creating modern depictions of national landscapes.

  • March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2Nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, on M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto Y
    March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto’s Opportunity to Redevelop Downsview Your Worship, On behalf of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), I am writing to request your support for the redevelopment of the Downsview lands: an incredible, multi-billion dollar opportunity for the city of Toronto to increase its supply of housing, attract investment and jobs and cement itself as a global centre for engineering innovation. As you are aware, Bombardier Aerospace announced their intention to relocate their operations at Downsview. For Toronto, this move presents a tremendous prospect for innovation and urban renewal that is unparalleled in modern history. Spanning an impressive 375-acres of prime development lands, Toronto’s opportunity at Downsview supersedes previous urban development success stories such as New York’s Hudson Yards and London’s Canary Wharf (24 and 97-acres respectively). Not only is its sheer size unprecedented—Downsview is also shovel-ready, presenting Toronto with a turn-key public project that complements existing infrastructure. Unlike most urban renewal projects around the globe, this development is able to monopolize on existing public infrastructure stock, thereby avoiding the time and resource costs typically associated with the construction of new service and transit linkages. The Downsview lands are situated at the epicentre of three world-class universities and benefits from exceptional connections to existing subway, rail, and highway transportation infrastructure. Developing Downsview can improve the flow and functionality of Toronto’s transit network. The development of the Downsview lands promises to improve ridership and the efficiency of the entire transit network by encouraging two-way passenger flows.
