  • Paul Kane Is Acknowledged to Be One of Canada's Finest Early Artists
    Paul Kane Paul Kane is acknowledged to be one of Canada’s finest early artists – and his first known works were created right here in Cobourg. He had done some painting earlier, when he lived in Toronto – his work had received a favourable review in the press in 1834. But he was just 24 at the time and none of those works remain. Paul was born in Ireland in 1810 but moved to Canada with his family before his teen years. After graduating from Upper Canada College he began a career as a sign and furniture Clench Table painter. In 1834 he moved to Cobourg to work at the first class furniture factory of Freeman Schermerhorn Clench, a prominent citizen of the town. It was then that he began to paint portraits of the Clench family, and it was there that he met young Harriet Clench, the boss’s daughter. Paul remained in Cobourg for only two years, but must surely have returned from time to time to visit Harriet. Some 19 years after they first met, they were married and moved into a fine new home in Toronto. By that time Paul had travelled to Europe, taken a major trip to the Canadian west coast and established his reputation as an artist. And by that time Harriet was an artist and art teacher in her own right. In 1836, having honed his skills in portraiture in Cobourg, Kane was ready to see the world and support himself with his art. For the next five years, he toured the American Midwest, working as an itinerant portrait painter.

    NOTES TOWARDS A RECONSIDERATION OF PAUL KANE'S ART AND PROSE* /. S. Macharen In Memoriam: Charles R.

  • Paul Kane's Wanderings of an Artist and the Rise of Transcontinental
    I.S. MacLaren Paul Kane’s Wanderings of an Artist and the Rise of Transcontinental Canadian Nationalism Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America (1859) helped make Paul Kane (181-71) a native Canadian, “a founding father of Canadian art” (Royal), and a figure of Canadian nationalism. The solitary wanderer began and ended his travels in Toronto. This was his hometown after immigration from Ireland in about 1819, and again after his travels to upper Lake Huron and Wisconsin in 1845 and to Vancouver Island in 1846-48. It was in Toronto that what were thought to be his most accomplished works came into public possession in 1912, in the collections of the Royal Ontario Museum. They taught generations of southern Ontarians what Indians look like, as Katherine Hale’s romantic poem “Cun-ne-wa-bum” illustrates well. As a father of Canadian art and a hardy early Canadian traveller in a vague tradition rooted in the voyageur, Kane served Canada’s need for heroes before and after Confederation. He is not on record as ever having corrected the sobriquet of “first native artist in Canada,” bestowed on him in 1852 ([Hind], “Provincial” 6; qtd. in Harper, “Ontario” 18 and Painting 115), seven years before his book identified Little York as his “native village” ([vii]), native not being the complicated descriptor that it is in Canada today. The construction of him as a solitary wanderer and yet a symbol of an entire nascent country grew complicated. So too did the aims of his Wanderings. Was it meant to narrate one man’s effort to record

Boyd HE Lower Columbia River Valley is the focal point of the distinctive and little-known Chinookan Art Style. Chinookan art is steeped in T social and religious meaning, with a focus on individual spirit pow­ ers. The Chinookan Art Style, which appears in the utilitarian objects of material culture, uses geometric shapes as elaboration and in represen­ tational figures, while employing a unique perspective on human and animal forms, here termed Chinookan Anatomical Art. Although the focal area of the Chinookan Art Style was the string of Chinookan villages from the mouth of the Columbia River to just above The Dalles in present-day Oregon, the style was found over a much wider region that roughly corresponds to the Greater Lower Columbia River region (Hajda 1984) and was created by peoples other than Chinookans.

ROBSON Author of CANADIAN LANDSCAPE PAINTERS THE RYERSON PRESS^TORONTO PAUL KANE from a painting by F. A. Verner PAU L KAN E 1810-1871 AUL KANE is a romantic figure in Canadian Art. The record of his life and accomplishments is an amazing story of deter­ Pmined persistency towards the goal of his boyhood ambition, and an astounding tale of travel, adventure, hardship and brilliant accomplishment. He was one of Canada's earliest painters, a truly great pioneer who has left for us a pictorial record of the work and play, the costumes and habits of our aborigines from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean. Not only did he leave a magnificent and extensive collection of pictures but he supplemented his painted records with a written narrative of his Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America, a book which is now a classic of Canadian travel literature. Contrary to the widely accepted belief that Kane was a Canadian by birth, he was born at Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, on Septem­ ber 3, 1810. He was the son of Michael Kane, who, according to the records of the British War Office, was born in Lancashire in 1775 and enlisted in the Royal Artillery on February 2, 1793. After serving in Ireland during the Rebellion of 1798 he was honourably discharged with the rank of Corporal and settled in Mallow where he engaged in business. Michael Kane had five children, James, Fred, Oliver, Paul and Mary; the last three were born in Ireland.

Kane produced hundreds of sketches and created a cycle of one hundred paintings that together reveal the vitality of Aboriginal culture and are of great significance today in the study of Canada’s Aboriginal and settler cultures. 3 PAUL KANE Life & Work by Arlene Gehmacher FORMATIVE YEARS Paul Kane was born on September 3, 1810, in Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, the sixth of eight children (four boys, four girls) of Michael Kane (1776–1851) and Frances Loach (1777–1837). Kane was about ten years old when, along with his parents and several siblings, he immigrated to Canada, where they settled in York (Toronto) around 1819. Michael Kane, originally a soldier in the British army, made his living in Canada as a liquor merchant.1 LEFT: Paul Kane, Self-Portrait, c. 1843–45, oil on canvas, 58 x 62 cm, RiverBrink Art Museum, Queenston, Ontario.

    National Park Service Fort Vancouver US Department of the Interior Fort Vancouver National Historic Site Vancouver National Historic Reserve Hawaiians at Fort Vancouver In the 1850s, American visitors to this area referred to the Village as "Kanaka Town." At the time, Hawaiians were known as Kanakas, meaning "human beings," and this name for the community is evidence of their significant presence at Fort Vancouver. This sketch, perhaps by George Gibbs, includes the north end of the Village, the fort, and the military post. Catalog #FOVA 10220, courtesy of the National Park Service A "Lively Exchange of The Hudson's Bay Company's (HBC) Fort Vancouver had a unique relationship with Commodities" the Hawaiian or "Sandwich Islands," the 19th century trade hub of the Pacific. Sailing vessels worldwide stopped regularly at "Owyhee" for recreation, supplies, and ship repair, simultaneously developing a "lively exchange of commodities" amongst nations. The HBC exchange might include trading furs for Boston's knives and copper pans, swapping for Hawaiian sandalwood or whale oil, or bartering for Cantonese silk and tea for Northwest use. Hawaiian imports included items such as hogs, sugar cane, salt, molasses, coffee, wicker baskets, and sweet potatoes. By the 1830s, Fort Vancouver exported produce, wheat, flour, lumber, and salmon. Northwest timber built Hawai'i's European style homes, while Hawaiian coral supplied lime for fertilizer and whitewash, and mortar for the Fort's chimneys. Meanwhile, the now traditional lomi lomi salmon served at present-day luaus remains a forgotten legacy of the fur trade era.
