The Carl Schaefer Collection of Thoreau MacDonald material Let~ers from Thoreau MacDonald to Schaefer, 1924-75; a large collection of Christmas and occasional cards, several of which are originals; original lino-cuts; printer's proofs of lino-cuts and pen drawings; printed material; clippings. '3 Extent: a boxes: 2 ft. Gift of Carl Schaefer, November, 1986. Biographical note: Carl Fellman Schaefer was born in Hanover, Ontario, in 1903. He studied at the Ontario College of Art, 1921-24, after which he worked as an assistant to such artists as J.E.H. MacDonald and Emanuel Hahn and as an itinerant church decorator and sign painter. He taught art at the Central Technical School, Toronto, 1930-1940, as well as at Trinity College Schoo[L, Port Hope. He held his first show in 1924 and first exhibited with the Ontario Society of Artists in 1925, the Group of Seven, 1928, and the Canadian Group of Painters, 1933; he was given a joint show with David Milne, Paraskeva Clark and Caven Atkins by the Art Gallery of Toronto in 1932. During the 1930's, Schaefer painted the Hanover landscapes for which he perhaps became best-known. Schaefer was the first Canadian painter to be awarded a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship and he spent 1940-41 painting in Vermont near -. Dartmouth College. He returned to teaching at the Central Technical School and Trinity College School, 1941-1943, then was invited to become an official war artist and enlisted with the R.C.A.F. in 1943. He was attached to various bomber squadrons in England and Northern Ireland until 1944, posted to Iceland and then Rockcliffe, and discharged in 1946 after creating over 100 works for the Canadian War Records. In 1948, Schaefer was appointed an instructor at the Ontario College of Art and taught there until 1970. During the 1950's, he also began teaching at the Doon School of Fine Arts, where he discovered Waterloo County and a subject to replace the Hanover landscape he had painted earlier. He now teaches at the Schneider school of Fine Art at Actinolite, Onto Schaefer's friendship with Thoreau MacDonald dates back to the days when Schaefer was a student under J.E.H. MacDonald at the Ontario College of Art, 1921-24. He and Thoreau were constant visitors at the Studio Building in those days. They corresponded during the years that Schaefer worked outside Toronto, and when Schaefer and his wife and family settled in Toronto, they were frequent Sunday visitors at the J.E.H. MacDonald home in Thornhill. Schaefer has continued to visit Thoreau ever since. As the letters show, they stimulated one another by discussions of art and literature. Each described his own work, applauding and sometimes criticizing the other's work. The letters also contain a running commentary on the a-~ scene of the period, with numerous references to members of the • Group of Seven, Frederick Banting, Lowrie Warrener.and others.

Frederick Varley, Tom Thomson, J.E.H MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frank Johnston, and Franklin Carmichael would first meet as employees at the design firm Grip Ltd in Toronto. These six men would come together during and after work discussing bold new directions for Canadian Art, they were joined by A.Y Jackson and Lawren Harris in 1913. With the support of Dr. James MacCallum, an artist and university professor, the group raised money to build the Studio Building for Canadian Art in Toronto. It was there that they would create masterpieces as they discovered the distinct light of the Canadian atmosphere and capture it in bold new ways. The production the group was interrupted as they suffered tragedy when Tom Thomson, one of the founding members died in mysterious circumstances; shortly after, some of the members left to serve in the First World War. It was not until 1920 that the Group of Seven officially formed with their first exhibition in Toronto. Once their popularity grew, the artists began to travel Canada capturing what inspired them. The group shared a like vision concerning art in Canada.

Photo: Robert McNair. The year was an exciting one for Indigenous art in so-called Canada—likely somewhat propelled by the Canada Council’s newly created funding stream for Indigenous art. I can’t think of another period—outside of 1992, the 350th anniversary of the birth of Montreal and 500 years since Columbus did not discover America—when Indigenous art was this dynamic. This year was host to a diverse group of new voices for Indigenous art, an array of artists and curators who established themselves as strong leaders and key gures in this new wave of contemporary Indigenous art. Joi https://canadianart.ca/features/art-in-2017-carrying-forward/ 1/13 1/18/2018 Art in 2017: A View from Turtle Island – Canadian Art T. Arcand, Dayna Danger, Asinnajaq, Jade Nasogaluak Carpenter, Becca Taylor, Tsēma Igharas, Jeneen Frei Njootli and Lacie Buring come to mind, to name only a few. Is what Tanya Harnett told me true—are we witnessing the emergence of a seventh wave in Indigenous art within so-called Canada? Whatever this moment is, it’s adamantly feminist; run by women, gender variant and sexually diverse peoples; and entrenched in values of care and reciprocity.

    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.

    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism

    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

A5STRACT Public Education in the Mass Media: National Fann Radio Forum on CBC Radio Eleanor Beattie, Ph.D. Concordia University, 1999 The weekly radio program, National Fatm Radio Forum (1940 - 1965) on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is the site of an examination of civic education in the mass media. The archived documentation of NFRF forms the corpus of my research. The subjed of civic education is analyzed through a rhetorical examination of programs on the subject of health delivery, the latter chosen because it shares, with civic education, the topics of cooperativisrn and equity of access.
