  • Toronto Improvisation, Abstract Expressionism, and the Artists' Jazz
    Critical Studies in Improvisation / Études critiques en improvisation, Vol. 11, Nos. 1-2 “We Can Draw!”: Toronto Improvisation, Abstract Expressionism, and the Artists’ Jazz Band David Neil Lee The improvised performance practice that came to be known as “free jazz” burst into prominence around 1960, and soon proved itself a genre extremely permeable to influences from other artistic disciplines. It was, as John Szwed writes, “. played by musicians who often seemed to have completely escaped the jazz recruitment process. They were classically trained virtuosos and musical illiterates, intellectuals and street rebels, and highbrows disguised as primitives” (Szwed 236). Ted Gioia calls the first free jazz musicians “. almost all outsiders . an outgrowth of the bohemians and ‘angry young men’ of the 1950s” (Gioia 311). To make the members of this new movement even harder to pigeonhole, George E. Lewis points out that the new music’s emergence “was a multiregional, multigenre, multiracial, and international affair” (Lewis 40). If there was any consistency among these varied practitioners, it lay in their identification—imposed either by themselves or by their circumstances—as, in Gioia’s terminology, “outsiders,” and in their adoption of the music, what Lewis describes as “a symbolic challenge to traditional authority” (40). Over the previous two decades, abstract expressionist art had been evolving a similar language of resistance, positioning itself as a symbolic challenge to authority. It also polarized opinions in the visual art world just as free improvisation would do in the jazz world. Serge Guilbaut, for instance, writes that Jackson Pollock’s work was seen as “. ‘unpredictable, undisciplined, explosive’ .

  • Description & Finding Aid: Dennis Burton Fonds CA OTAG SC100
    Art Gallery of Ontario E. P. Taylor Research Library and Archives Description & Finding Aid: Dennis Burton Fonds CA OTAG SC100 Prepared by Amy Marshall, 2004 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5T 1G4 Reference Desk: 416-979-6642 www.ago.net/ago/library Dennis Burton fonds Dennis Burton fonds Dates of creation: 1952-2001 Extent: 355 cm of textual records (125 volumes and additional textual records) 308 photographs Biographical sketch: Dennis Burton (1933-) is a Canadian artist and art educator, based much of his life in Toronto and Vancouver. Born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Burton moved to Ontario in 1950 on a scholarship to Pickering College, Newmarket, where he attended Fred Hagan’s art classes. Burton’s education continued at the Ontario College of Art (graduated 1956); the University of Southern California (1955) and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Maine (1959). He worked at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a senior graphic designer, 1957-60. Burton achieved artistic fame in the mid-1960s with his controversial paintings of female undergarments (giving rise to the term “Garterbeltmania”) and abstractions inspired by genitalia. He was represented by the Isaacs Gallery, Toronto, through the 1960s and 1970s, and became associated with other gallery artists. He was a founding member of the Artists’ Jazz Band, in which he played saxophone. Burton worked extensively as an illustrator throughout this period. His career as an art educator began with his tenure as Chairman of Drawing & Painting Department at the Ontario College of Art, 1970-71; he was Director of the New School of Art 1971-1977, and a founding faculty member and President of Arts’ Sake inc.

By the time of his death, he was one of the most commercially successful artists in Canada. Forty years after Kurelek’s premature death, his paintings remain coveted by collectors. They represent an unconventional, unsettling, and controversial record of global anxiety in the twentieth century. Like no other artist, Kurelek twins the nostalgic and apocalyptic, his oeuvre a simultaneous vision of Eden and Hell. 3 William Kurelek Life & Work by Andrew Kear Fathers and Sons William Kurelek was born on a grain farm north of Willingdon, Alberta, to Mary (née Huculak) and Dmytro Kurelek in 1927. Mary’s parents had arrived in the region east of Edmonton around the turn of the century, in the first wave of Ukrainian immigration to Canada. These farming families, from what is known today as the Western Ukraine, transformed Canada’s harsh western prairie into a flourishing agricultural region and created an important market for the eastern manufacturing industry. The Huculaks established a homestead near Whitford Lake, then part of the Northwest Territories, in a larger Ukrainian settlement. Dmytro arrived in Canada in 1923 with the second major wave of Ukrainian immigration.

The 1960s and 1970s were productive years for Wieland, as she explored various materials and media and as her art became assertively political, engaging with nationalism, feminism, and ecology. She returned to Toronto in 1971. In 1987 the Art Gallery of Ontario held a retrospective of her work. Wieland was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in the 1990s, and she died in 1998. 3 JOYCE WIELAND Life & Work by Johanne Sloan EARLY YEARS Joyce Wieland was born in Toronto on June 30, 1930, the youngest child of Sydney Arthur Wieland and Rosetta Amelia Watson Wieland, who had emigrated from Britain. Her father’s family included several generations of acrobats and music-hall performers. Both her parents died before she reached her teens, and she and her two older siblings, Sid and Joan, experienced poverty and domestic instability as they struggled to survive. Showing an aptitude for visual expression from a young age, Wieland attended Central Technical School in Toronto, where she initially registered in a fashion design course. At this high school she learned the skills that later enabled her to work in the field of commercial design.

  • Big Av's Art World
    Big Av's art world SARAH MILROY From Wednesday's Globe and Mail Published Wednesday, May 25, 2005 8:41AM EDT Last updated Tuesday, Apr. 07, 2009 9:38PM EDT 0 Comments Print In the current Toronto exhibition Regarding Av, a small cartoon- like drawing on brown butcher paper from 1964 is on display, the handiwork of the artist Dennis Burton. Burton was a key contender in the rambunctious Isaacs Gallery stable, and his cartoon imagines the prominent players in the Toronto art scene as a school of fish, swimming toward lapping waves of dollar bills, over which he has inscribed the phrase "international market." At the centre of the composition, Burton has placed an enormous whale bearing the distinct countenance of Avrom Isaacs, Toronto's leading art dealer of the day, and around him, a school of his gallery artists (Michael Snow, Joyce Wieland, Gordon Rayner, Richard Gorman, Graham Coughtry, William Ronald, Tony Urquhart and so on), each one a skillful caricature. Above them, a school of sharks represents the critics: Robert Fulford, Paul Duval, Betty Kilbourn and Pearl McCarthy. In retrospect, the drawing is bittersweet. As fate would have it, few of these fish managed to swim further south than Lake Ontario. (Only Snow did and, briefly, Ronald.) But something perhaps more important did get achieved in those years; the dawning of a sense that Toronto was a place where significant art was made, talked about, bought and cherished. Burton's drawing expresses the bond of a creative community making history together, with Isaacs at its core. This summer, the 79-year-old Isaacs, who retired in 2001, is being feted with Isaacs Seen, which consists of four interconnected shows.

Taylor Research Library and Archives Description & Finding Aid: Michael Snow Fonds CA OTAG SC052 Prepared by Alain Giroux, 1992 and Kathleen McLean, 1996 Modified by Amy Marshall with assistance from Gary Fitzgibbon, 2005 and 2018 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5T 1G4 Reference Desk: 416-979-6642 www.ago.net/ago/library Michael Snow fonds Michael Snow fonds Dates of creation: 1933-1996 Extent: 7.7 m of textual records and other material Biographical sketch: Michael James Aleck Snow (1928- ) is a Canadian painter, sculptor, filmmaker, photographer and musician. He was born in Toronto and educated at Upper Canada College and subsequently at the Ontario College of Art (1948-1952). After travels in Europe (1953-54) he worked for Graphic Films in Toronto (1955-56), producing his first independent film A-Z. His first solo exhibition as a painter was at the Greenwich Gallery in Toronto in 1956. Between 1961 and 1967, mostly while living in New York, Snow produced work in the Pop-art mode based on the silhouette of a young woman, entitled Walking Woman, probably his most widely recognized creation. A series of 11 stainless steel sculptures of the image was created for the Ontario pavilion at Expo 67 and is now in the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario. After moving to New York in 1964, he made films regarded as Minimalist, such as New York Ear and Eye Control (1964) and Wavelength (1966-67). Returning to Toronto in 1972, Snow worked mainly on cinematic and photographic projects including ‘Rameau’s Nephew’ by Diderot (Thanx to Dennis Young) by Wilma Schoen .
