Download or read book George McLean written by Virginia M. Eichhorn and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than forty years, George McLean has lived in a stone farmhouse on 100 acres of land in Grey County, Ontario. On his daily walks, he looks for a moment that will inspire him -- the first step in a process that can take up to a year to yield a single painting. McLean's densely layered depictions of the natural world emerge directly from his intense interest in wildlife. In this sumptuous book, Virginia Eichhorn, Adam Duncan Harris, and Tom Smart examine the development of McLean's art and trace his varied influences, from early 20th-century wildlife artists Carl Rungius and Bruno Liljefors to Andrew Wyeth. Connecting with past traditions while resonating with contemporary audiences, McLean's work, along with that of many realists before him, reflects a shared sense of what it means to be North American. Illustrated with more than 60 colour reproductions, the publication of George McLean: The Living Landscape coincides with the opening of an accompanying international touring exhibition of McLean's work at the Tom Thomson Gallery in Owen Sound.

Download or read book Good Earth written by and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Ostrom has been described as an "innovative traditionalist," a disruptive force shaking up ceramic conventions while simultaneously enriching them. Hired to teach studio and Asian art history at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in 1969, Ostrom was one of many American artists who moved north to Canada in the fallout from the Vietnam War. Ostrom's work, from his embrace of conceptual art in the 1970s to his current exploration of the vast history, hybridization, and social foundation of ceramics, marks him as a major force in the development of contemporary ceramics. As Ray Cronin writes, Ostrom's works "declare themselves to be art and craft at once, tradition and innovation merged, beauty and function reconciled, thought and action combined. What more could one ask from any work of art?" Accompanying a major retrospective exhibition at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia opening in May 2020, Good Earth features essays by leading scholars and curators along with full-colour reproductions of over fifty examples of Ostrom's works.

Download or read book Carl Beam written by Greg A. Hill and published by National Gallery of Canada/Musee Des Beaux-Arts Du Canada. This book was released on 2010 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This major retrospective publication confirms Carl Beam (1943 - 2005) as one of North America's most important artists. Beam broke new ground throughout his career, notably as the first artist of Native Ancestry (Ojibwe) to have his work purchased by the National Gallery of Canada as Contemporary Art. Working in various mediums - photography, oil, acrylic, stone, cement, wood, ceramics and found objects - Beam's work continually explored the tensions between Western and Aboriginal relations. Featuring more than 50 of Beam's most remarkable works from his early career in the 1970s to the end of his production in the early 2000s, this richly illustrated monograph illuminates the artist's investigations into the metaphysical aspects of Western and Indigenous culture, while powerfully illustrating the wideranging physicality of his work.

Download or read book Beginning with the Seventies written by Lorna Brown and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The publication "Beginning with the Seventies" binds together four exhibitions (GLUT, Radial Change, Collective Acts, Hexsa'am) held at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery between 2018-2019. Part art exhibition, part research project, the book investigates the 1970s, an era when social movements of all kinds--feminism, environmentalism, LGBTQ rights, Indigenous rights, access to health services and housing--began to coalesce into models of self-organization that overlapped with the production of art and culture. Noting the resurgence of art practice involved with social activism and an increasing interest in the 1970s from younger producers, the Belkin connected with diverse archives and activist networks to bring forward these histories, to commission new works of art and writing and to provide a space for discussion and debate. Categorized by exhibition, each section of "Beginning with the Seventies" takes a different approach to the theme, curating together over 70 artists and writers."--

Download or read book Peter Powning written by Peter Powning and published by Fredericton, N.B. : Ratwing Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 25 years, Peter Powning has earned respect among connoisseurs of fine craft as one of Canada's most innovative ceramists. Many people recognize his distinctive and commercially successful raku pottery, but few realize that he is also a sculptor with an international reputation. Gloria Hickey has curated the first national solo exhibition of Powning's sculpture for the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery, and Peter Powning: Elemental Clay and Glass documents this exhibition with 40 colour and 12 black and white photographs. Powning has exhibited his clay, glass and bronze works in over 60 galleries in the Canada, the US, Germany, Scandinavia, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China and Japan. He has brought home international honours from the Fletcher juried competition in Australia and the Mino International Ceramics Competition and the Kanazawa International Exhibition of Glass in Japan. In New Brunswick, he won the 1991 Deichmann Award for Excellence in Craft and the 1993 Strathbutler Award. Gloria Hickey's curatorial essay tells how and why Powning made the pieces in the exhibition. Candid yet sensitive, it assesses Powning's importance among Canadian ceramists and glass artists, and it interprets the interests and values that permeate not only his pottery and sculpture, but his personal life as well. Peter Powning's studio is at Markhamville, near Sussex, New Brunswick. He has served on the New Brunswick Arts Board, the Premier's Advisory Council on the Arts, and the New Brunswick Craft Council, and he has been a visiting artist at the Banff Centre. Gloria Hickey, a St. John's writer and curator, twice won the Betty Park Award of Merit for her contributions to criticalwriting about craft in North America. In 1994 she was nominated for the Imperial Oil Award Excellence in Arts Journalism.
