Buildings, games, household jobs, and transportation dot the lively mural depicting spring and winter life. Using oil sticks on paper, Ishulutaq’s summer scene reflects her early life on the land. It includes a qammaq, a semi-permanent dwelling used year-round, with a frame of bones covered with scraped and fur-covered sealskins and insulated with peat moss in the winter. The more modern winter scene on the other side shows people entering and exiting buildings, such as a co-op store and a church, while an airplane and a helicopter take off from the runway in the background. Two themes of past and present revolve around a lake inhabited by humans and animals. The clear blue water connects visually with the sky, framing the mountains of the Cumberland Sound. Darlene Coward Wight, WAG Curator of Inuit Art, travelled to Pangnirtung with art supplies for the project and worked with Ishulutaq for five days in October 2014. The artist worked for two more days to finish the whimsical drawing. Ishulutaq is known for recording the intimate details of everyday life as she has lived it.

  • In Partial Fulfillnent of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History
    BUSINESS, ART AND LABOUR: BRIGDEN'S AND THE GROWTH OF THE CANADIAN GRAPHIC ARTS INDUSTRY 1870_1950 By Angela E. Davis A Thesis presented to the University of Manitoba in partial fulfillnent of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of PhiLosophy in History The University of Manitoba t{innipeg, Manitoba September 1986 ABSTRACT The thesis presented in this dissertation concerns the inter-reLationship between business, art and labour in Canada during the years 1870 to 1950. It will suggest that the foundations of "Canadian Art" and a Canadian popular culture rest not only within the European traditions of "fine" art, but also in the work of those artists who practiced in the commercial environment of engraving, or graphic arts, houses. Indeed most artists, for the period under discussion, worked as both "commercial" and "fine" artists. In order to substantiate this argument, a history of the development of the Canadian graphic arts industry will be traced, using the firm of Brigden's Limited as a case study. Graphic arts firns such as Brigden's demonstrate the unique aspects of an industry which included among its workforce artÍsts as wel.l as skilled technicians. Not only did thjs reguire a management capable of recognizing artistic creativity and practical knowledge, but it al.so necessitated an organization capable of adapting to econonic, social and technoj.ogical change. It was from out of this structure that the product of the industry, the reproduced visual image, made its considerabLe contribution to the development of a Canadian

    UNIVERSITY OF REGINA ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS THE DR JOHN ARCHER LIBRARY 85-38 RUSSELL YURISTY SHELLEY SWEENEY AUGUST 29, 1985 REVISED APRIL 2009 BY ELIZABETH SEITZ 85-38 RUSSELL YURISTY 2 / 22 This collection represents the early life and career of artist Russ Yuristy. Yuristy was born in the small town of Goodeve, Saskatchewan in 1936. These papers touch on his academic life, his family and home life, his personal life and his life as artist and sculptor. Yuristy’s whimsical drawings and paintings are well known, but he is perhaps best known for his sculptures for children’s playgrounds. Here we see the artist at work: from the first sketches outlining possible ideas, to the notes on the concept, to the correspondence with those who commissioned the work, to the final clippings celebrating the completion. From Spokane, Washington and the World’s Fair, to the National Capital Commission’s development of Victoria Island in Ottawa, Yuristy’s work has reached children, parents and admirers across the continent. Here are the papers to record these events. 85-38 RUSSELL YURISTY 3 / 22 TABLE OF CONTENTS Note on Arrangement: There was no discernible order to these papers. They have been separated into five main categories that correspond to the development of Yuristy’s life and career. Within each category the material has been sorted chronologically. Photographs of the artist and his work as well as oversize material can also be found within this collection. EDUCATION Report Cards, Certificates, 1947 - 55 Certificate, 1959 Paper, 1965

The TMC connects its permanent collection of historic and ethnographic objects to contemporary creative expression, as well as to new and established Canadian experiences. Internationally diverse populations are included in programs and exhibitions that position art forms from around the world with accessible, inclusive interpretation that speaks to diverse cultures and places, connecting audiences to their own experiences, to each other, and to the world we live in. As articulated in the strategic plan, it is of great significance that the TMC connects a global collection to established and emerging boundary-pushing contemporary art, craft and design practices that speak to real life experiences. The TMC is a centre of excellence with a unique engagement in art and culture that is confidently reaffirmed and renewed at all stages as we participate in and give new shape to museum culture. Throughout 2015–16, the TMC’s 40th anniversary year, the TMC continued to build cultural understanding as an internationally renowned creative incubator and dynamic social space. This operating year has been one of expanded profile and community engagement through dynamic artistic and educational programs, along with increased operational capacity through improvements to infrastructure, collection storage and building automation, as well as new investment and business streams. TMC ANNUAL REPORT 2015–2016 - 3 ARTISTIC PROGRAM In 2015–16, exhibitions, public programs and educational activities presented opportunities to view historical artifacts from around the world while offering local, national and international contemporary artists an engaging platform for the dissemination of their work.
