  • Canada's Second World War Official Art Program
    “Doing justice to history”: Canada’s Second World War official art program The Canadian War Records (CWR), Canada’s Second World War art program, produced two kinds of art: field sketches and finished paintings. What is the relative value of each as an historical record? Is the truthfully observed detail of the battlefield in the form of a sketch as valuable a document as an oil on canvas that has eschewed extraneous detail, added missing information from other sources, and been compositionally focused on a significant historical event as a result of a creative process? The War Artists’ Committee (WAC), which ran the CWR from Ottawa and devised the official instructions issued to all the war artists in 1943, believed it knew the answer. When the WAC recommended in its instructions that the artists share in the experience of “active operations” in order to “know and understand the action, the circumstances, the environment, and the participants”, it viewed this only as an information gathering and research stage. This stage, as the instructions note, existed solely to meet the committee’s ultimate goal: “productions” that were “worthy of Canada’s highest cultural traditions, doing justice to History, and as works of art, worthy of exhibition anywhere at any time”. The instructions charged the artists with portraying “significant events, scenes, phases and episodes in the experience of the Canadian Armed Forces”, and required each of the 32 artists hired to produce two 40 x 49 inch canvases, two 24 x 30 inch canvases, and ten 22 x 30 inch watercolours. The instructions make it clear that the WAC highly valued these finished paintings.

  • Remembering, and Bearing Witness
    ART CANADA INSTITUTE INSTITUT DE L’ART CANADIEN COMMEMORATING, REMEMBERING, AND BEARING WITNESS International Holocaust Remembrance Day through the Work of Canada’s Artists On January 27, the world marked the sombre occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day. At the Art Canada Institute, the event reminds us of Canadian artists whose lives and works were directly impacted by the long shadow of National Socialism and why its atrocities must never be forgotten. Whether it is survivor Gershon Iskowitz recalling his time in Nazi concentration camps, Betty Goodwin tracing her family history back to war-torn Europe, or Alex Colville drawing on his experiences as an official war artist, we can learn from these artists, and pass on their experiences and wisdom. Sara Angel Founder and Executive Director, Art Canada Institute YURI DOJC SYNAGOGUE Kralovsky Chlmec, 2006 Born in Humenné, in eastern Slovakia, Canadian photographer Yuri Dojc (b.1946) journeyed from Toronto back to his homeland to create Last Folio, his project chronicling Slovakia’s last living Holocaust survivors, as well as abandoned synagogues, Jewish cemeteries, and other remains of the country’s fractured community. Dojc is renowned for his observational approach to remnants of the past and infusing his compositions with empathy and intimacy. He has observed: “We all strive to leave something behind, a mark that remains after we’ve left. But there is almost nothing left of the people whose lives were cut short during the Holocaust. Photography allows me to build a private memorial to them.” JACQUELINE KOTT-WOLLE My Parents’ Chuppah, 2020 The grandchild of Holocaust survivors, Toronto-born, Chicago-based painter Jacqueline Kott-Wolle (b.1969) created her most recent project, “Growing Up Jewish – Art & Storytelling,” with thirty-five contemporary oil paintings and personal narratives exploring her family’s evolving Jewish identity in North America, over five generations—including images from ritual observances, Hebrew school, summer camps, and holiday gatherings.

  • The Art of Money Colville’S Centennial Coins
    ART CANADA INSTITUTE INSTITUT DE L’ART CANADIEN APRIL 30, 2021 THE ART OF MONEY COLVILLE’S CENTENNIAL COINS Fifty-four years ago Expo 67 opened in Montreal—and the coins created by revered Canadian painter Alex Colville were a part of the world fair festivities. On the anniversary of the event ACI is launching a new online exhibition about the famed currency that marked the country’s 100-year celebration of Confederation. In 2017, the Art Canada Institute published Alex Colville: Life & Work by Ray Cronin, a work about our country’s foremost realist painter and how he imbued his meticulously painted scenes of everyday life with profound questions about the human condition. Our new online exhibition takes a closer look at a highly celebrated project by the Toronto-born, Maritime-based artist, one that produced the most widely- circulated artistic objects in Canadian history: six centennial coins that Colville (1920–2013) designed in 1965 and 1966 for the Royal Canadian Mint in celebration of Canada’s one hundredth anniversary of Confederation. Marking the anniversary of the opening of Expo 67 on April 27, 1967, The Measure of Nature: Alex Colville’s Centennial Coins, presented in partnership with the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and Billie Magazine, reveals the artist’s process of developing indelible currency inspired by Canadian wildlife. Sara Angel Founder and Executive Director, Art Canada Institute A NATIONAL TALENT Alex Colville, Family and Rainstorm, 1955 In 1964, when Minister of Finance Walter L. Gordon invited Canadian artists, sculptors, and designers to submit proposals for a coin set to be issued in 1967 to commemorate the Canadian Centennial, Colville’s career was thriving.

  • Her Own Trame of Reference': a Feminist Reading of Mary Pratt's Painting Wendy Schissel University of Saskatchewan
    Her Own Trame of Reference': A Feminist Reading of Mary Pratt's Painting Wendy Schissel University of Saskatchewan ABSTRACT Art history has made the word "artist" synonymous with man; woman has been excluded from mastery of the privileged genre of the female nude, object of male speculation, desire, and consumption. Feminist criticism has provided an alternative set of signifieds for the nude image produced by a woman. In Mary Pratt's paintings of her husband Christopher's models, the feminist critic reads a com• plex meeting of the subjectivity of the artist and the model. In another part of her oeuvre, the still—lifes, more often associated with women artists and metonymic with the domestic spaces of female experience, the feminist critic reads erotic images which are, simultaneously, appealing and disturbing. RESUME L'histoire de l'art a fait que le mot «artiste» est devenu synonyme d'homme; la femme a Hi exclue de la mattrise de ce genre privil£gi£ du nu feminin, objet de speculation masculine, de ddsir et de consommation. La critique feministe a offert une autre serie de signifies pour les nus dlpeints par les femmes. Dans les peintures de Mary Pratt qui reprlsentent les modeles de son raari Christopher, la feministe interprete cela comme une rencontre complexe de la subjectivity de 1'artiste et du modele. Dans une autre partie de son oeuvre oil les natures mortes sont souvent associees aux femmes artistes et sont m£tonymiques de l'univers familial de la vie d'une femme, la feministe interprete cela comme des images erotiques qui sont en mime temps attirantes et gfnantes.

Brandon: Colville to Goble Colville to Goble Some Thoughts on the Evolving Place of Photography in Canadian Military Art LAURA BRANDON Abstract: This article focuses on the photographic work of two Canadian military artists whose careers are separated by half a century. Alex Colville (1920–2013) used photography in his work but rarely mentioned it and never publicly exhibited or acknowledged it. Elaine Goble (born 1956) bases all her work on photography, engages explicitly with it, acknowledges it, exhibits and donates it, but does not consider herself a professional photographer. An exploration of these two artists’ relationship with photography sheds some light on how attitudes to the medium have changed in recent decades. Photography’s new prominence in the digital age has affected artists, photographers, institutions, collectors, as well as art and photo historians, and encouraged reconsideration of past practices. WENTY-ONE years ago, in 1995, I published an article in this Tjournal entitled “Genesis of a Painting: Alex Colville’s War Drawings.”1 My piece focused on the relationship between the artist’s works on paper and his finished canvases.

Sauf une couple de petits magasins qui restent ouverts après six heu­ res, il n'y a guère de vie nocturne à Sainte-Catherine et à Mount Carmel, et encore moins quoi que ce soit qui puisse vaguement ressembler à de l'activité artistique. En 1963, Sainte-Catherine était encore plus isolée. De nos jours, à l'aune de Terre-Neuve, il existe de très bonnes routes entre Saint-Jean et la porte des Pratt mais, à leur arrivée, la plus grande partie du trajet se faisait sur des routes de terre, impraticables la plupart du temps.
