    MaRCH 2021 ONlINe aUCTION JULY 15, 2020 15, JULY Sale March 4, 2020 – March 25, 2021 001 HERBERT BRANDL 1959 - Austrian Ohne Titel oil on canvas on verso signed and dated 2006 74 3/4 x 63 inches 189.9 x 160 centimeters Provenance: Galerie Elisabeth & Klaus Thoman, Austria Private Collection, Austria Sold sale of Zeitgenössische Kunst, im Kinsky Auktionhaus, May 10, 2011, lot 141 Collection of Joey & Toby Tanenbaum, Toronto Exhibited: Literature: This canvas by Herbert Brandl features a bluish teal ground populated by pale yellow brushstrokes sweeping from side to side. As the colours intermingle and separate, a veil of drips wanders down, slowly dissolving into (the ether of) the background. Brandl’s painterly mastery saturates this work. With a few simple, confident and elegant strokes, he creates an abstract form which can be almost instantly recognized as light reflecting on water. Light never materializes into an object, it occurs in time; and on the surface of water it always shimmers, flickering from one form to another. Brandl’s decades long preoccupation with pictorial form and the conceptual underpinnings of the image is clearly visible in this work. Here, Brandl captures something essential in an almost monumental format, and presents it as something still wavering between the abstract and concrete. Like an illusion or an apparition, it appears unmistakable, yet one cannot be sure of its true nature. Brandl’s work has been exhibited all over the world, including Biennale de Paris (1985), the São Paulo Art Biennale (1989), Documenta IX (1992), Kunsthalle Basel (1999) and the Venice Biennale (2007).

  • Canadian Engineering History: a Thumbnail Sketch
    Canadian Engineering History: A Thumbnail Sketch by Andrew H. (Drew) Wilson, FCAE May 2020 Prepared at the request of the President of the Canadian Academy of Engineering Preamble Engineering can be, and has been, defined in a variety of ways. A very early definition was that it is “the art of directing the great source of power in Nature for the use and convenience of people.” Nowadays, it has to be considered as an informed activity performed by purpose-trained practitioners in regard to the design, production and maintenance of machinery, constructions, processes and devices that is being augmented constantly by experience, research, and information that extends beyond science and technology and requires some understanding of economics and business, the law, the social sciences, and politics, as well as an appreciation of the past as well as the future. This paper has been written especially for students of engineering, to introduce them to some of the past events and achievements in engineering activity in Canada. The text is relatively short and makes use of information that has already appeared in other, longer stories of Canadian engineering. For the purposes of this paper, however, some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s engineering achievements prior to 1949 have been included. The illustrations are also few in number, but a bibliography has been appended to encourage further reading. To provide some background to the events and achievements, some economic, social and political information has been included. To help accommodate its ‘thumbnail’ description, this paper omits specific references to Canadian achievements abroad, to engineering in the Armed Forces, and to some of the companies with obvious engineering connections.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    “ODDBALLS AND ECCENTRICS” (“LES HIRSUTES ET LES EXCENTRIQUES”): VISUAL ARTS AND ARTISTS IN THE POPULAR PRESS IN POST-WAR CANADA by Debra Anne Antoncic A thesis submitted to the Department of Art In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (May 2011) Copyright © Debra Anne Antoncic, 2011 Abstract This dissertation examines the representation of visual arts and artists in two popular Canadian magazines. It is based on case studies of the Montréal-based Le petit journal, a French-language magazine, and the Toronto-based English-language publication Star Weekly, from 1945 to 1968. Both were weekly magazines with large readerships and included content for the entire family. Neither was devoted to visual arts but both carried photographs and articles that engaged with broad issues in the field of visual arts. As such, they represent a cross-section of ideas and perspectives that is very different from those of daily newspapers or of publications explicitly devoted to the arts. In addition, both implicitly claimed a national perspective by including articles and information about different regions of Canada. In this way, although in reality the two publications constitute a central Canadian perspective, inflected in each case by the particularities of their provincial locations, they claimed a national vision. In contrast to existing research concerning art journals and art critics in Canada, my investigation involves the ownership and editorial direction of these two popular magazines. By analyzing the content of the magazines across more than two decades, I am able to identify shifts in outlook as they occurred and consider them in the context of the period.
