This talk will examine the nature, production, circulation, and sig- nificance of Notman’s "Photographic Selections" and other photographically illustrated publica- tions in nineteenth-century Canada, including those by Samuel McLaughlin, H.B.Small, Octavius Thompson, George Beers and Henry Vennor.

    THE COLLECTION AT CIBC WOOD GUNDY GALLERY BRANCH CIBC World Markets Inc. 200 King Street West, Suite 1807 Toronto ON M5H 3T4 PHOTOGRAPHY: Robert Burley ARCHITECT: Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg MAIN RECEPTION WORKS BY JOHN MASSEY JOHN MASSEY LOCATION — Reception The Jack Photographs #35 – 40 1992-95 6 silver gelatin prints edition 2/5 24 x 23 inches each shown: photos 38, 39 PHOTOS Courtesy of the Artist The inevitability of technology to maim the senses and privilege vision as the dominant sense preceptor at the expense of all others is here poignantly expressed. For Massey, the computer is also the puppet. It is not just the mannequin but the computer as well that represents an agent external to the self that may enact our wishes. Massey’s interrelated images of flesh and wood, sensory organs and mechanical joints in The Jack Photographs suggest to the viewer that the body is the site of perception and memory,not just the mind alone. For Massey, the notion of watching or looking at something is also an exercise in self-perception and forms another meaningful ellipsis to The Jack Photographs.The question of self-perception, how the tools of observation intercede, and how the mind works its anxious response, its motivations, and its insights are each puzzling experiences and difficult to explain but perhaps, in electronic art, possible.The visual codes Massey embeds in this artwork are an encryption that underscores the effects of working with photography in combination with other media. Jack is the foil through which the artist engages perception as subject, identity or self-awareness as object, and the structure of vision as content.

  • The History of Photography: the Research Library of the Mack Lee
    THE HISTORY OF PHOTOGRAPHY The Research Library of the Mack Lee Gallery 2,633 titles in circa 3,140 volumes Lee Gallery Photography Research Library Comprising over 3,100 volumes of monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodicals, the Lee Gallery Photography Research Library provides an overview of the history of photography, with a focus on the nineteenth century, in particular on the first three decades after the invention photography. Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

    It’s very important to give something so the next generation can really believe in something. I think the artist works for himself for the most part. Every artist goes through stages of fear and love or whatever it is and has to fight day after day to survive like everyone else. Art is a form of satisfying yourself and satisfying others. We want to be good and belong. That goes through history; we’re striving for it.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    “ODDBALLS AND ECCENTRICS” (“LES HIRSUTES ET LES EXCENTRIQUES”): VISUAL ARTS AND ARTISTS IN THE POPULAR PRESS IN POST-WAR CANADA by Debra Anne Antoncic A thesis submitted to the Department of Art In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen‟s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (May 2011) Copyright © Debra Anne Antoncic, 2011 Abstract This dissertation examines the representation of visual arts and artists in two popular Canadian magazines. It is based on case studies of the Montréal-based Le petit journal, a French-language magazine, and the Toronto-based English-language publication Star Weekly, from 1945 to 1968. Both were weekly magazines with large readerships and included content for the entire family. Neither was devoted to visual arts but both carried photographs and articles that engaged with broad issues in the field of visual arts. As such, they represent a cross-section of ideas and perspectives that is very different from those of daily newspapers or of publications explicitly devoted to the arts. In addition, both implicitly claimed a national perspective by including articles and information about different regions of Canada. In this way, although in reality the two publications constitute a central Canadian perspective, inflected in each case by the particularities of their provincial locations, they claimed a national vision. In contrast to existing research concerning art journals and art critics in Canada, my investigation involves the ownership and editorial direction of these two popular magazines. By analyzing the content of the magazines across more than two decades, I am able to identify shifts in outlook as they occurred and consider them in the context of the period.
