CURTIS CUTSHAW Born in Edmonton, Alberta 1967 Lives in Calgary, Alberta
CURTIS CUTSHAW Born in Edmonton, Alberta 1967 Lives in Calgary, Alberta Artist Statement Curtis Cutshaw’s paintings show us how a painting is made. Each step of the Artist’s process can be seen. Each choice is there for the viewer to unravel, as if stopped in time. Each piece shows a choice, a step forward to the final realization of the complete painting. Fractured and deconstructed images on individual birch wood tiles create a sense of removal of meaning. Scratched, rubbed, marked, erased and distressed images hint at repurposing and the multiple pieces appear to have had a history, where in fact the artist creates them. The viewers’ mind wants to reassemble the pieces and use what is there to create what is not there. Cutshaw does not allow for the accidental. The works may appear spontaneous, yet every piece, every mark; whether it is painted, drawn or scratched, is intentional and created by the artist. The artists’ touch, his hand and his construction are at the center of each work. Cutshaw has an ongoing dialogue with the picture plane. Depending on what the artist does with each piece in the painting, he either adds to or denies spatial reference. A mark scratched into the surface flattens the picture plane, denying illusionistic space, bringing the viewers’ eye to the surface; where half of a circle implies the whole, creating illusionistic space. Through Cutshaw’s paintings, the viewer can experience this dichotomy and the viewer is able to see one choice and a thousand choices through assemblage. Each shape is a record of a moment that can be seen, experienced, and arrived. -
Uaac-Aauc Conference 2014
UAAC-AAUC CONFERENCE 2014 October 23 to October 26 OCAD University www.uaac-aauc.com Toronto, Canada 1 Bienvenue au congrès! Au nom du conseil d’administration de l’Association d’art des universités du Canada, je souhaite la bienvenue à tous les participants au congrès 2014 de Toronto. C’est toujours un plaisir pour l’Association de venir à Toronto, mais cette année, nous sommes particulièrement heureux d’être accueillis par l’Université OCAD, un établissement jouissant d’une longue et brillante feuille de route en ce qui a trait à la production de certains des plus importants artistes du Canada. J’aimerais remercier l’Université OCAD et sa présidente, Sara Diamond, pour le parrainage de cette conférence. Des remerciements particuliers vont aux coprésidents du comité d’organisation sur place, Charles Reeve et Caroline Langill, ainsi qu’aux membres de leur équipe, Claudette Lauzon, Keith Bresnahan, Anda Kubis, Adam Tindale, Audrey Hudson, Jessica Wyman, Laragh Halldorson et Sarah McLean Knapp. Le programme du congrès de cette année s’annonce très excitant—et rempli! Nous essayons une nouveauté cette année, une journée supplémentaire dédiée au perfectionnement professionnel et à des séances pédagogiques. En tant qu’Association d’art des universités du Canada, nous avons une responsabilité particulière à l’égard du perfectionnement professionnel de nos étudiants aux cycles supérieurs. Comme les emplois traditionnels en enseignement et dans les musées se raréfient, il nous faut aider nos étudiants à trouver des carrières intéressantes, tant au sein des universités qu’à l’extérieur de celles-ci. Je vous encourage à venir écouter notre conférencière Jennifer Polk, du site From PhD to Life, parler de ces possibilités dimanche matin à 9 h 30, et à participer aux tables rondes sur le perfectionnement professionnel et pédagogique qui suivront. -
Analyse D'œuvres Du Style Artistique Woodland
TRACES DE PEINTURE ARTIDAVI_VF1_Fiche1 Analyse d’œuvres du style artistique Woodland Norval Morrisseau est considéré comme le père du style artistique Woodland. Au cours des années 1970, il s’est affilié à une coopérative d’artistes, desquels certains ont adopté des aspects de ce langage artistique du style Woodland. Par la suite, il y a eu une relève formée d’une nouvelle génération de peintres qui ont trouvé leur inspiration dans ce style, et ce courant se poursuit encore aujourd’hui. Dans cet exercice, tu exploreras des œuvres de ces deux groupes d’artistes : ceux qui étaient à l’origine, et ceux de la relève. Citation de Daphne Odjig : « Nous sommes un peuple vivant et une culture vivante. Je suis convaincue que notre destin est de progresser, d’expérimenter et de développer de nouveaux modes d’expression, comme le font tous les peuples. Je n’ai pas l’intention de rester figée dans le passé. Je n’suis pas une pièce de musée. » Source : Les dessins et peintures de Daphne Odjig : Une exposition rétrospective, Bonnie Devine, Robert Houle et Duke Redbird, 2007. Consigne Tu analyseras deux œuvres, une de chaque groupe. Les œuvres du premier groupe sont celles d’artistes qui ont côtoyé Norval Morrisseau et comme lui, ont adopté un langage artistique similaire. Leurs couleurs plutôt ternes avec l’ocre très présent rappellent celles des pictogrammes et peintures rupestres sur les rochers dans la région des Grands Lacs où ce style est né. Bien que ces œuvres présentent des ressemblances, le style de plusieurs de ces artistes se transformera dans une forme personnelle, surtout à partir des années 1980, quand on verra émerger l’usage de couleurs éclatantes. -

Canadian Prairie Watercolour Landscapes

(c) 1997 Terry Fenton CANADIAN PRAIRIE WATERCOLOUR LANDSCAPES I VISITORS WEST FOR THE PURPOSES OF watercolour landscape painting in prairie Canada (with the exception of Paul Kane and Lewis Hine who traveled overland earlier in the century and were concerned primarily with documentation) our history begins in 1887 when William Van Horne, then general manager and subsequently president of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Van Horne issued railroad passes to artists, encouraging them to paint scenery from the interior of the new country — especially what were to become the mountain parks. He shrewdly judged that the images would attract both tourists and settlers both of whom would be obliged to use the railway. In a sense, this use repeated the conditions of the Grand Tour as well as Turner’s visits to the Alps and Italy in search of the picturesque and the sublime: both the purpose and character of the trip and the scenery pursued were English in spirit — one can imagine the artists perusing and applying the principles of Ruskin’s Modern Painters throughout the journey. Equally English were the means chosen — the artists worked from nature in watercolour as often as not, and produced large “exhibition watercolours” based upon them. They also painted oils, but like so many of their British counterparts of the day, their oils tended to be still and pedestrian. -

The artworks within this guide and the images required for the learning activities and culminating task can be found in the Bertram Brooker Image File provided. Throughout his career Bertram Brooker (1888–1955) looked to capture the ephemeral and magical qualities of music in his paintings. Several of his works explore specific pieces of music or attempt to convey an experience of sound on the canvas. In this guide the art of Brooker is used to explore musical forms, terminology, and structure, and it guides students in activities that allow them to find connections between visual art and music and to build an understanding and appreciation of both disciplines.

Canadian Studies: the Hungarian Contribution
Ad Americam. Journal of American Studies 21 (2020): ISSN: 1896-9461, https://doi.org/10.12797/AdAmericam.21.2020.21.06 Licensing information: CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 János Kenyeres Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary [email protected] https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0294-9714 Canadian Studies: The Hungarian Contribution Canadian Studies was launched in Hungary in 1979, when the first course in Canadian literature was offered at the English Department of Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. This article is intended to explore the history of this discipline in the past 40+ years, fo- cusing on the growing awareness of Canada and its culture in Hungarian academic and intellectual life. As early as the mid-1980s, universities in Hungary offered various cours- es in Canadian Studies, which were followed by a large number of publications, con- ferences, and the institutionalization of the field. The article gives a survey of Canadian Studies in Hungary in the international context, showing the ways in which interaction with colleagues in Europe and beyond, and with institutions, such as the Central Euro- pean Association for Canadian Studies, has promoted the work of Hungarian researchers. The article also discusses the fields of interest and individual achievements of Hungarian scholars, as well as the challenges Canadian Studies has faced. Key words: Canadian Studies; Hungary; university; scholarship; research; history The study of Canada by Hungarians is usually considered a recent development compared to academic research on the history and culture of other nations. Howev- er, evidence shows that, in a sense, the history of contacts between the two countries goes back several centuries. -

--.11., QUOTABLE QUOTE "National Chief Mercredi's actions and statements are an insult to the chiefs." - Manitoba Grand Chief Phil Fontaine '2 00 where applicable PUBLICATION MAIL REGISTRATION k2177 13 No. IO FEBRUARY 1996 Canada's National Aboriginal News Publication Volume POSTAGE PAID AT EDMONTON Thumbs up for treaties VANCOUVER Negotiation is the only acceptable and civilized way for Native people and the government to deal with the complex issues of Abo- riginal title and rights in the province of British Columbia, said Chief Joe Mathias. He was responding to a new study, conducted by ARA Con- sulting Group of Vancouver, which found land claim treaties have a positive effect in regards to economic opportunity, community development and improved relations between Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal people. "The strength of this report is that it provides an independent and balanced perspective of the issues, challenges and opportuni- ties of treaty- making," said Mathias. "It is a critically important and timely document, one we expect will generate constructive public debate in the months ahead." The study found that modern day treaties have not caused the kind of disruption and disharmony their critics contend they do, but neither do they offer instant solutions. A summary report pre- pared by Ken Coates of the University of Northern British Colum- bia said the resolution of long- standing disagreements, through negotiation rather than through legal or politically imposed con- ditions, will liberate people from the contentious and difficult de- bates of the past. "These often heated discussions - about colonialism, disloca- tion, sovereignty, ownership, and the legitimacy of Native land claims - generate a great deal of rhetoric and anger but rarely pro- vide lasting solutions," concludes the summary.
