    Borderline Research Histories of Art between Canada and the United States, c. 1965–1975 Adam Douglas Swinton Welch A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Adam Douglas Swinton Welch 2019 Borderline Research Histories of Art between Canada and the United States, c. 1965–1975 Adam Douglas Swinton Welch Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Taking General Idea’s “Borderline Research” request, which appeared in the first issue of FILE Megazine (1972), as a model, this dissertation presents a composite set of histories. Through a comparative case approach, I present eight scenes which register and enact larger political, social, and aesthetic tendencies in art between Canada and the United States from 1965 to 1975. These cases include Jack Bush’s relationship with the critic Clement Greenberg; Brydon Smith’s first decade as curator at the National Gallery of Canada (1967–1975); the exhibition New York 13 (1969) at the Vancouver Art Gallery; Greg Curnoe’s debt to New York Neo-dada; Joyce Wieland living in New York and making work for exhibition in Toronto (1962–1972); Barry Lord and Gail Dexter’s involvement with the Canadian Liberation Movement (1970–1975); the use of surrogates and copies at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (1967–1972); and the Eternal Network performance event, Decca Dance, in Los Angeles (1974). Relying heavily on my work in institutional archives, artists’ fonds, and research interviews, I establish chronologies and describe events. By the close of my study, in the mid-1970s, the movement of art and ideas was eased between Canada and the United States, anticipating the advent of a globalized art world.

In the last hundred and fifty years or so, the field of advanced creation in visual art has been heavily characterized by the existence of artistic movements, small groupings of artists having aesthetic or programmatic similarities and using the group to further their collective programme, and, one would suppose, their individual careers and creative trajectories.

  • Property of the Estate of Blema and H. Arnold Steinberg
    ProPerty of the estAte of BlemA And h. Arnold steinBerg member of the board of governors of McGill University, and later as governor emeritus, and founding chairman of the board of the McGill University Health Centre, among other titles. All of this led to one of the most gratifying roles of his extraordinary life, when in 2009 he was appointed chancellor of McGill University. Upon his passing, Heather Munroe-Blum, vice-chancellor of McGill, reflected: “Arnold was a prince of a man. He shaped McGill, Montreal and Canada in deeply progressive and posi- tive ways—uniquely, indelibly. He influenced everyone he met through his gracious warmth, joyous optimism and incisive intelligence.” Blema Steinberg wore many hats and was exceptionally accomplished. She too was known for her remarkable dedication to McGill University and her continuous philanthropic efforts. She was a double graduate of McGill, where she completed her BA and PhD, and a graduate of Cornell University, where she completed her MA. She became a professor in 1961 and was appointed to McGill’s Department of Political Science, where she taught for more than 40 years, before being honoured with the title of professor emerita following her retirement in 2001. During her tenure, she focused her research efforts on the psy- chological factors of decision-making and character studies of leaders in politics. Blema authored many academic publications and, most notably, two books—Women in Power: The Personalities Blema and H.

  • Art and Science in Visualization Victoria Interrante
    Art and Science in Visualization Victoria Interrante 1 Introduction Visualization research and development involves the design, implementation and evaluation of techniques for creating images that facilitate the understanding of a set of data. The first step in this process, visualization design, involves defining an appropriate representational approach, determining the vision of what one wants to achieve. Implementation involves deriving the methods necessary to realize the intended results – developing the algorithms required to create the desired visual representation. Evaluation, or the objective assessment of the impact of specific characteristics of the visualization on application-relevant task performance, is useful not only to quantify the usefulness of a particular technique but, more powerfully, to provide insight into the means by which a technique achieves its success, thus contributing to the foundation of knowledge upon which we can draw to create yet more effective visualizations in the future. In this chapter, I will discuss the art and science of visualization design and evaluation, illustrated with case study examples from my research. For each application, I will describe how inspiration from art and insight from visual perception can provide guidance for the development of promising approaches to the targeted visualization problems. As appropriate I will include relevant details of the algorithms developed to achieve the referenced implementations, and where studies have been done, I will discuss their findings and the implications for future directions of work. 1.1 Seeking Inspiration for Visualization from Art and Design Visualization design, from the creation of specific effective visual representations for particular sets of data to the conceptualization of new, more effective paradigms for information representation in general, is a process that has the characteristics of both an art and a science.

  • “Male” Works from the Collection of Vince Aletti Attila Richard Lukacs / Polaroids / Michael Morris
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PRESENTATION June 28 – August 3, 2008 HOUSE “Male” Works from the Collection of Vince Aletti GALLERY Attila Richard Lukacs / Polaroids / Michael Morris Presentation House Gallery is pleased to present two concurrent exhibitions that showcase extensive, provocative views of the male figure. “Male” is an exhibition of portrait works drawn from the personal collection of curator, writer and The New Yorker photography critic Vince Aletti. It features more than 100 photographs as well as drawings, sculptures, and paintings, juxtaposing works by celebrated figures with works by emerging artists, alongside anonymously authored images and flea market finds. “Male” presents a complex history of portraiture through an eclectic approach to collecting, conflating both historical and vernacular material in a highly idiosyncratic and fiercely independent articulation of visual culture. Attila Richard Lukacs / Polaroids / Michael Morris showcases over 600 Polaroid photographs by Vancouver painter Attila Richard Lukacs produced over the past twenty years as referents for paintings, assembled and collaged by Vancouver Island artist Michael Morris. Utilizing the unique characteristics of the Polaroid medium, Lukacs’ painter’s sensibility is evident in the photograph’s rich hues, deep chiaroscuro, romantic sensuality and graphic immediacy. Building on these strengths, Morris employs simple thematic and organizational schemas to create vibrant Polaroid grids, uncovering an From the exhibition, "Male:Work from the collection of Vince Aletti." archeology of Lukacs’ work and relationships through a formal link to his own Wilhelm von Gloeden, [boy in plaid shirt], c. 1900, albumen print, 23 ½ x 19 ½ in.

  • Inspired by Global Art Movements Such As the American and French
    >> Inspired by global art movements such as the American and French Barbizon schools, Horatio Walker's Turning the Harrow - Early Morning demonstrates the artist's interest in painting simple, nostalgic views of real-life often set in the bucolic landscape of the Île d'Orléans in Quebec. Anne-Marie Bouchard, curator of modern art at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec explains. >> Just as the American Barbizon painters, Walter was really influenced by the French Barbizon school. And he kind of valued simple and pastoral scenes painted directly from nature. He liked to paint the kind of traditional activity mostly taking place during the sunrise. And he always painted the same kind of scenes. I mean it was sheeps, cattles, chickens, pigs, always in the sunset or sunlight with the peasant working by their side. And he was really interested in just trying to put a kind of majestic landscape in which the animals could be at their most beautiful. He put a lot of effort in depicting the way of life and he had the kind of idea that the peasant and his relation to the landscape was conveying a kind of spiritual strength that was really particular. It was an idea that was absolutely generalized in French painting at the same time. And that was really popularized also by the political parties that were seeing the peasant and also the labourer as someone who had a kind of authenticity that was different from what we were able to see in the modern cities. And that it was through the peasant way of life and through the peasantry and the rural life that we were able to find back something we had lost in the industrialization.

  • Art and Science: the Importance of Scientific Illustration in Veterinary Medicine
    International Journal of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry 2021; 6(3): 30-33 ISSN: 2456-2912 VET 2021; 6(3): 30-33 © 2021 VET Art and science: The importance of scientific www.veterinarypaper.com Received: 19-02-2021 illustration in veterinary medicine Accepted: 21-03-2021 Andreia Garcês Andreia Garcês Inno – Serviços Especializados em Veterinária, R. Cândido de Sousa 15, 4710-300 Braga, DOI: https://doi.org/10.22271/veterinary.2021.v6.i3a.357 Portugal Abstract The importance of illustration in veterinary is usually overshadowed by its use in human medicine and forget. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize the importance of illustration in the development of veterinarian, as this is also a profession based on observation. Through history there are several examples of how illustration help to increase and share the knowledge in veterinary sciences. There is no doubt that illustration is an important tool in learning. That makes scientific illustration an important and irreplaceable tool, since they have the ability of takes scientific concepts, from the simplest to the complex, and bring it to life in an attractive and simplified way. Keywords: art, science, scientific illustration, veterinary medicine Introduction Biological illustration, has many branches being one of the medical illustrations. It is a form of illustration that helps to record and disseminate knowledge regarding medicine (e.g., anatomy, [1, 2] virology) . Usually, medical illustration is associated with human medicine, with the great anatomical illustrations of Da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius coming to mind [3, 4], but illustration also has an important role in veterinary medicine. Maybe, illustration has been used longer in veterinary than in human medicine but never is referenced its importance [3].
