JoaneCardinal-Schubert:

BY JENNIFER MacLEODEDITOR, GALLERIES WEST

Subject: STRATEGY To: joane cardinal-schubert From: [email protected] your art is triggered by political events andcircumstances. And you have sought to make a dif-ference in those circumstances through your art.You talk about a ‘strategy.’

Subject: strategy To: [email protected] From: joane cardinal-schubertI am sick to death ofarticles re AboriginalPeople..... and the nega-tives. That is why Ibecame involved with theCalgary Aboriginal ArtsAwareness Society over 14years ago - to help cel-ebrate the positives ofAboriginal People throughart. That is really whatmy own life experiencedirected me to do... Iwanted to discuss visual-ly the very sophisticated Aboriginal cul-ture - that was my strategy.

I told you about the dean who refusedto let me in to the University of Albertaafter I had presented a portfolio and wasplaced in 3rd year. I required the Dean’ssignature..... but when I met with him heenquired as to my name, pointed at me andsaid ‘You get out of here.... and don’tyou ever come back.’ All I could think ofat the time was that Deans are not sup-posed to act this way. I painted, had twochildren and I waited five years untilthat Dean retired and went right to theUniversity and registered. Part of mydrive and stamina comes from experienceslike these, and those I see happening toothers.

I like turning over rocks to see whatis under them..... moving carcases, turn-ing them over, seeing what they are help-ing create. I am driven by not under-standing how people have all this power.I pour in all those experiences, the goodwith the bad, and within the composition,their energies are transformed into beau-ty and a new truth. So you might say my art healsme. I was taught to believe that there is alwayssomething good to be found in bad.

I would say part of my art is triggered bypolitical events as political events affect usand change our lives. Perhaps they have a morenoticeable effect on an artist.

Subject: POLITICAL ART To: [email protected] From: joane cardinal-schubertMy installation is entitled 'Media'ate'. Two redwalls....4 ft. wide b & w checkerboard floor,(the floor of oppression/power) strewn withashes, rebar and burned computer discs. Red dovemade out of modelling clay high on wall above twoplinths (painted red). Text on wall "PostModernism - 911".....original idea - chalk, butam now considering black oil. The left plinth hasa brass hand bell. (Brit) ....poking out fromunder the bell is a small British flag and aCanadian flag.... on the other pedestal sits aworld globe. The pedestals sit on an Americanflag, 10 ft long, in disarray. On the adjacentwall is a painting......soup can, 'Cardinal'scondensed Feral Soup'... (wild horse) ( smile).On the floor sits an ordinary wooden chair paint-ed red.... I am trying to discourage myself fromplacing my black top hat pierced with a red arrowon the seat.....Do you think I am very wicked?

Subject: political art To: joane cardinal-schubert From: [email protected] think it's hard to say your work isn't political!

Subject: political art To: [email protected] From: joane cardinal-schubertI started on this road to paint about my personalexperiences…. but because I’m Aboriginal, my workhas been considered political. I don’t think ofit as political… I think of it as personal.

Joane Cardinal-Schubert is a story-teller. In conversation, inwriting, in the way she approaches her work. Ask a question

and you’ll hear an anecdote. Mention an issue, and you’ll hearabout an experience. Questions about why are answered withwhat happened.

Joane's paintings and installations are visual stories of per-sonal experiences layered on a backdrop of social and historicalevents. She weaves bold Aboriginal motifs into colourful state-ments about subjects that touch her.

Inspired by her open writing style, Iinvited Joane to collaborate on a pro-gressive profile via email. Rather thanrelying on the usual formal interview, Isuggested this format could be a kind ofperformance art for writing.

True to character, she was game totry, even though she was busy setting up an installation at theArt Gallery of Calgary as part of its 25th anniversary exhibitionentitled 5° (Five Degrees).That's where we began.

ABOVE: Media'ate is part of the 5°exhibit on view at the Art Gallery ofCalgary until January 26.

Recent works by Joane Cardinal-Schubert shown here include: below,Family Birthright II, acrylic on paper,31" x 11"; right, In the Garden, acrylicon canvas, 44" x 44".


Subject: INTERPRETATIONS To: joane cardinal-schubert From: [email protected] see constant movement in your work. A continu-ous march of history, of events. I feel, at once,a sense of urgency and a sense of hope when Ilook at many of your paintings. But I’m neversure I’m getting it. You’re speaking a languageof your own.

Subject: interpretations To: [email protected] From: joane cardinal-schubertIt appears you are getting it - if you have anemotional response like this one. My paintingexists on many levels. It has to be beautiful soas not to alienate, but I want to engage theintellect too. Allow the viewer room to make achoice. I am simply creating a mirror for them tolook into. They see what they want to see andtherefore they have a part in the process. I knowthat I really don't have any control over howthey interpret my work.

I believe each artist develops a language ofpersonal visual symbology. An artist’s work isreally composed of visual sentences or paragraphsor essays threaded together. The most interestingpart of this for me is when I hear comments likeyours, when I hear that the message is gettingthrough, that I am communicating on that level.

Subject: ARTISTIC PROCESS To: joane cardinal-schubert From: [email protected] talk of being a visual interpretor who can-not, as an artist, turn a blind eye. When do youmake the decision to commit to the canvas?

Subject: artistic processTo: [email protected] From: joane cardinal-schubertSometimes I createa series of worksthat have as theirfinal impetus afallen leaf, thecolour of the sky,a raindrop hittingmy face, the soundof snow underfootor a laugh... thatstimulates or trig-gers a collectedmemory and servesto produce a con-ceptual image onmy retina. Atthese points I ameager to get tothe studio and seeif I can create itas I visualize it.

I always have some idea of my goal, but atsome point the process takes over and I amdirected by it. This makes my passion even moreintense to go on the journey of discovery.

Subject: VISUAL STORIES To: joane cardinal-schubert From: [email protected] the stories that you tell changed with time?Something you said about existing within a circlesuggests you don’t see your career as a linearprogression.

Subject: visual stories To: [email protected] From: joane cardinal-schubertMost stories are very linear, with a beginning, amid-point and an end. Storytelling was introducedto me as a parallel example of problem solving.Stories were not directives but provided a spacefor personal resolve. This is similar to what anart work achieves.

What I said was that I exist at the center ofa big circle. My ‘stories’ are circular, the endand the beginning linked….referenced ...and I cancross over the circle and spin off into littlecircles rediscovering aspects I have missed orthat remained undeveloped in previous works.Sometimes I cross that circle as a challenge torediscover, to find out what I missed at firstglance.

Right now my work is all about family and theworld we live in – obviously a response to thetimes.

Subject: BEING CATEGORIZED To: joane cardinal-schubert From: [email protected]'ve always resisted being categorized. Early

on, you said no to doing what was expected ofyou... doing "Native" art, or "political" art...

Subject: being categorized To: [email protected] From: joane cardinal-schubertEarly on… at 19… I began to see that I wasexpected to do a certain kind of thing - I sup-posed I was to do Native art.

I had a difficult time realizing I was catego-rized by my personal expressions. The categoriza-tion of Native Art was attached to my work andothers’ works by non-Native curators. Even thoughI had written the same exams in University andfulfilled all the requirements of a degree.....when I got out of school my content which waslargely about myself, who I was, my responses tothe world etc....was labelled as Native Art andthen political art - they seemed to go together.

Later when Native Curators came on the scene,and called the work Native art - that was differ-ent. We were declaring who we were, not beingtold by others. The political was not separate -there was no label.

Subject: FREE THINKING To: joane cardinal-schubert From: [email protected] parents were living examples to you and yoursiblings of not fearing change, of going beyondbarriers. They encouraged “free thinking.” Thathas been a huge part of who you are as an artist.

Subject: free thinking To: [email protected] From: joane cardinal-schubertYes my parents were amazing. One could call it'free thinking', but for us, it was the way we

were - We loved to laugh, tohave fun, to discuss, anddebate. Our voices were impor-tant, our curiousities wereencouraged.

My parents taught us to lookat each day as a new begin-ning. That tomorrow is a newday - I hold this belief close- it has served me well. Norecriminations, just belief

that things change, things get better and I havea part to play in that - I take the responsibili-ty seriously.

Digital technology has made tremendous inroads into theworld of fine art, revolutionizing the way art can becreated, produced and marketed. One form of digital art

that is rapidly gaining attention among artists and consumers isgiclée.

A giclée (pronounced jee-clay) is an image that has beendigitally printed onto a conventional fine art support such aswatercolour paper or canvas. Its extraordinary precision andresolution is made possible by the use of sophisticated and veryexpensive wide-format inkjet printers that can output acontinuous stream of ink, propelling about four million

microscopic squirts ofdye per second fromtiny nozzles the size ofa follicle of hair. Thisresults in astaggeringly widegamut of up to 16million colours. Thegiclée image isimpressive in its depth,resolution and colour.Its surface texture issmooth and consistent.But as the popularityof such computer-based art makinggrows, so does thedebate over questionsof originality andauthenticity.

GICLÉES ASREPRODUCTIONS

The most common manifestation of the giclée is as areproduction, issued in limited editions. In this case, the giclée isa copy, albeit of stunning verisimilitude, but a copy nonetheless.The original work is always in another medium, say oil or acrylicon canvas, which is converted into a digital format. Next, thecolours are meticulously calibrated to match the original, andthen printed onto canvas.

A giclée reproduction is significantly and qualitativelydifferent from mass-produced reproductions like those of RobertBateman, which are issued by the tens of thousands and arephoto-mechanically created copies of an original painting. It is

here that one enters murky territory. The tell-tale tiny dots, thedouble signatures and the huge editions all render meaninglesstheir accompanying “Certificates of Authenticity.” These areposters. They have no intrinsic value as artworks. By comparison,a higher quality reproduction giclée on canvas is issued ineditions that are limited to a few hundred copies at most.

Nevertheless, the“Certificate ofAuthenticity” thatcomes with a gicléedoes not validate itas an original—it isstill a copy.

One type ofreproduction, calleda canvas transfer,superficiallyresembles thegiclée. It is basedon a reproduction,not on an original.The emulsion froma reproduction likea poster is lifted andtransferred onto acanvas support.Generally, canvastransfers are notissued in limitededitions.

Exploring the artfulness of giclée

O P I N I O N

“I think giclée is strictly reproduction

if it is imitating fine art. To my mind,

giclée is definitely not a printmaking

technique. Printmakers physically

make their own prints.At each phase,

there is human involvement.

Printmaking is labour-intensive and

requires a lot of technical expertise.

Printmakers choose their medium

because of a love of the surface and

the unique way that materials behave

on the paper.They love it precisely

because it doesn’t imitate a painting

or a drawing.”

Isabelle Hunt-Johnson, painter


There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the idea of areproduction and indeed it can bring the work of an artist intothe homes and offices of many people who could never afford tobuy the original work. A framed giclée reproduction looks greatand it comes at a fraction of the cost of the original that it souncannily mimics. Christopher Talbot, owner of MixedEmotions, a Calgary gallery that specializes in giclées, says, “I amtrying to put art into people’s hands at prices that make sense.” Inthis gallery, all reproduction giclées are donefrom original works of art by Canadian andAustralian artists. This ensures much betterquality than, for example, a giclée done after areproduction, which is a copy of a copy.

GICLÉES AS ORIGINAL FINE ARTA giclée can be considered original fine

art, comparable to printmaking, when itcontributes a new image to the world. In thiscase, the image originates not as a separatephysical entity such as an oil painting that iscopied, but as a digital file. The creation ofthe image is intricately and irrevocablyenmeshed in the computer which is a tool forthe artist, an enabler of conceptualization. Forexample, in a photographically based giclée,the slide or print is the start, not the end ofthe creative process in which the originalphotograph is manipulated and altered withinthe computer in software programs such asPhotoshop. Whatever its source, in nature orin the imagination of the artist, the art isconceived, gestated and born through thecomputer. The final image is actualized, givenphysical form, through the use of an inkjetprinter, output as a digital print on paper or asa giclée on canvas.

GICLÉES AND FINE ART PRINTSA giclée can be a one-of-a-kind, unique

image or created in multiples which are issued,

like fine art prints, in limited editions. However, there aresignificant distinctions between giclées and traditional fine artprintmaking, such as etching, lithography and silkscreen to nameonly a few. The most noteworthy difference is that a giclée isproduced by a computer, whereas all fine art prints are handmade:it is usually the artist (often with an artist/technician) who worksthe plate or litho stone; who manually applies the ink to itssurface; and who puts the paper through the press. Each colour in

a fine art print is appliedseparately and the process isrepeated as many times as thereare colours in the print,whereas all the colours in agiclée are squirted out of theinkjet printer at the same time.Some artists, like Walter Jule,also combine differentprintmaking techniques in asingle image. This means that

the process of creating oneprint goes through many steps,each of which engages the eyeand hand of the artist directly.Using varied techniques toenrich the surface and visualcomplexity of a printintroduces an element ofchance. So, the preciseappearance of a print that isthe result of a complex, multi-tiered process is not known inadvance of the actual printing.By contrast, a giclée image,complete in every minutedetail, can be seen in itsdigital, virtual form on acomputer monitor before it is

ever materialized on paper or canvas. Another difference to be noted is that, in printmaking, the

entire edition is hand-pulled in the same time frame, in one dayor over the course of several days or weeks. But, in the case ofdigital prints and giclées, only a very small percentage of theedition is produced at any given time because with a digital file,more can be printed at any point in the future. Furthermore, they

O P I N I O N

“Digital is a natural extension of printmaking

just as photo-mechanical processes were in

the 1960s and ‘70s.Although digital has been

accepted with open arms, I think artists should

realize that no technology is neutral; each is

driven by its own agenda and each so-called

advance redefines earlier technologies. I get

the feeling a lot of artists are rushing to their

software because digital doesn’t have a

tradition just yet so, unlike photography, it

offers artists a kind of clean slate option where they can’t be

nailed for producing a bad so and so.This won’t last long

though and then we will see a rush to something else—this

has always been true, it just looks a little sillier speeded up.”

Walter Jule, printmaker

O P I N I O N

“Early photographs were initially

used to document events, but

photography has developed into

its own recognized art form. It's

simply the process.The art-

making potential of the giclée is

in the hands of the artist.

However, a critical difference is

when this process is used merely

as a method of reproduction.”

can be printed in different sizes and tints. Digital art is art-on-demand.

Another criticaldifference concerns thenotion of the limitededition, which has a directbearing on the art market,which values rarity. Intraditional printmaking,like etching, forexample–the plate iscancelled or destroyed,making it physicallyimpossible to make anymore prints after theinitial run. For digitalprints and giclées, there isno plate—the “original” islocked onto a CD,preserved as a digital file,which is immortal. Onlythe integrity of the artist(and a leap of faith on thepart of the consumer)ensures that the editionwill not exceed its limit.

In the end, it is up tothe consumer to decidewhat aspects of art makingthey value most. Theimportant thing for everyart buyer is to makeinformed choices.

O P I N I O N

“Original prints” are all

handmade.The bottom line is

that giclées are reproductions;

it’s just a fancy new way of

doing them. But even as

reproductions they are

substandard: they are rarely

the exact size as the originals,

the canvas is very thin and it is

not archival. The inks are

vulnerable to water. If you

want a reproduction, an off-set

lithograph in an edition of 500

or less is a much better buy.

At least, they are done on

archival paper, their inks are

permanent, the plates are

destroyed and they will last far

longer than giclées. My final

word is: Buyer-beware.”

What attracted you to printmaking?Well, looking back, I can see that

printmaking allowed me to utilize theconceptual thinking I’d explored in myundergraduate degree, which was inarchitecture and interior design. Therewas a teacher at university whointroduced me to certain ideas andattitudes that were influencing artists inthe early 1960s. I loved the fact that inprintmaking disparate elements could bebrought together through a technicalprocess—a weaving together of thespontaneous and deliberate. It’s like jazz:each has an element of craft andimprovisation.

In your writing, you used the analogy ofmusic to describe printmaking. InSightlines: Printmaking and ImageCulture, 1997, you wrote, “…Listencarefully to music and you will hear theindividual notes build together until thewhole no longer resembles theparts…Sometimes I like to think that theart of making prints is not unlike that ofmaking music.There is an artist, anengraving plate and tools.The finishedproduct—the print—is the result of howthose elements are brought together.”Can you say more about this idea?

I was thinking about how discipline,technical skill and spontaneity all cometogether in printmaking. The best jazzmusicians have a command of theirinstruments, but technique isn’t the point,it’s the confidence that allows dexterity,spontaneity and freedom. Visual artistscan learn a lot from musicians andactors, who are very aware of the need tointegrate the head, heart and hands.

There is a difference betweenprintmakers who create multiples of asingle image with fairly predictableoutcomes and artists like yourself whoseprints are the final outcome of a complexprocess of layering and synthesis, whichincorporates many steps, combinesdifferent print techniques, and adds an

element of chance.This createsstrikingly original images that couldnot be achieved in any other medium.Can you share with us your creativeprocess as a printmaker?

Recently I’ve been making papercollages and wetting the paper thathas been attached at points to mystudio wall. When the paper dries itshrinks, and slowly all these tensionedstructures begin to emerge. Imanipulate the wet paper by handwhile it’s drying and can influence theconfiguration of the wrinkles to acertain degree. While this is going on,I’m watching for somethingunexpected and taking photographs,changing the lights around madly. It’skind of passive and frantic at the sametime.

I select photographs to enlargeand transfer to copper etching plates,which I then work by hand, addingand subtracting until I find a kind ofopen-ended quality. Then I edition theetching on Japanese Gampi Washi(paper) and paste each impression toa backing sheet. At this pointadditional images, stones, balloonsand various stains and drips are addedwith lithography to punctuate or “riff”off the structures formed by the imageof stretched paper.

All this technical process is a wayfor me to become more intimate withideas about light, transience, causeand effect, what is predicted and whatis recognized and, hopefully, throughthe invention of symbolic structures,produce work that encourages specificpsychological states.

Walter Jule was born in Seattle and

has lived in Alberta since1970.

He is the recipient of 10 national awards

and seven international awards for his

outstanding work. His contribution to

printmaking extends well beyond his own

art. As an educator, Jule has taught and

lectured widely, in the US, Japan and

Brazil. For the past 30 years, he has been

a professor of fine art at the University of

Alberta, where he is currently head of the

Printmaking Division, one of the most

dynamic research and studio facilities in

the country. Jule has also organized

international conferences, curated major

exhibitions and edited several books about

contemporary printmaking. He is

represented by Image 54 in Calgary and

Can you discuss some of the ideas that you express metaphorically inyour art?

Well, I am not so much interested in illustrating an idea than I amin the ability of art to resolve what the mind cannot resolve. I meanthat art can make me aware of an ever-present stillness underneath theactivity of my life. I would like the somewhat dramatic forms in mywork to be seen as essentially empty—a zone where there is no activityof the mind. I also address notions of memory, loss, and erosion, butmost importantly I’d like my work to be an example of a kind ofbreakdown of sequential time, concentrated into the present moment.

Your life is certainly very busy. How do you balance your role asteacher with your own art practice?

I find creative exchange, working with others toward the goal ofimprovement of both individuals and the group, exhilarating. I’ve had abunch of absolutely brilliant graduate students over the years andobserving an artist develop, easily or at times with great difficulty, isthe best seat in town. When I’m in my studio, I’m in my studio andwhen I’m teaching there is just that. Maybe it’s a kind of cross trainingand sometimes one tugs while the other pulls, but that’s the exercise.

The Printmaking Division at U of A is very highly regarded nationallyand internationally.What is it about this program that sets it apartfrom other similar programs in Canada?

I believe it is because of a large group of exceptional teachers andtechnicians that has been able to work together as a team, and anadministration that has provided ongoing support on many fronts.Paradoxically, I think our geographical and cultural isolation has servedto prod us into looking seriously at the printmaking traditions ofEurope and Asia and we’ve developed an active artists-residencyprogram, enriching our situation immeasurably.

You mention Asia and Europe. How is printmaking regarded in theworld today?

Printmaking isexperiencing aworldwideexplosion ofinterest. There areover 40international printbiennials ortriennials scatteredaround the worlddrawing audiencesin the tens of

thousands. Canada has two, in Trois Rivières and Edmonton.Printmaking is both highly successful and under-appreciated.

So how do you feel about printmaking as a collectible medium?There is such a diversity of prints now and Canadian artists are

having a real impact on the international stage. It seems to be thatcollectors should be rushing to take advantage of the relatively lowprices. We have a very short print tradition in this country though,compared to Europe or a country like Japan, and I hope critics willcontinue to write about good and interesting work and galleries willhelp the public understand the vitality of printmaking now.

What do you see in the immediate future for printmaking?The immediate future of printmaking on a technological level will

be the exploration of the integration of digital technology with thecomplex vocabularies and processes already at hand.

Writer and lecturer Monique Westra is an art curator at the Glenbow Museum

and a former art history teacher at the Alberta College of Art and Design.


The popular press has made much of the fact that John Snowestablished himself as an artist in Western Canada whilesimultaneously pursuing a successful career in banking. “Abanker who dabbles in

printmaking,” snorted theCalgary Herald in 1984. ButSnow shrugged off theslight. “Everybody can domore than one thing well,”he said. “People tend to betoo one-sided today.”

Given his achievements,one could hardly accuseSnow of being “one-sided.”Renaissance man would bemore like it. This questingartistic soul has made hismark not only in bankingand art but also in music,film and theatre.

He discovered art-making at a young age. Twoartistically talented auntsshowed him how to paint inwatercolours when he was achild in England during theFirst World War. Hecontinued to paint after hisfamily returned to Canadain 1919. He also studiedcello and violin. In 1921,when John was 10, thefamily settled on a farm west of Innisfail, Alberta. Five years laterhe told his father he wanted “to be a painter or a banker.”

The banking came first. In 1929, at age 17, Snow began whatwould be a 43-year career with the Royal Bank. “It’s so very hardfor an artist to make a living painting, especially at first,” he saidyears later. “I didn’t have to. I was making loans during thedaytime and was delighted to come home at night and put somecolour on a sheet of paper.”

After service overseas as an air force navigator during theSecond World War, Snow returned to Canada, to Calgary, andmade a conscious decision to “do art seriously.” He joined a lifedrawing group at Coste House, a community art centre, andstudied drawing with Maxwell Bates at what is now the Alberta

College of Art and Design. “Bates was a wonderful teacher,” saidSnow. “That’s how I really got started.”

Perhaps the most important journey of Snow’s life as an artistoccurred in 1953 when he visited Glen Alps, a noted Seattleprint artist, who told Snow he should try lithography, a surfaceprinting technique that depends on the fact that grease and waterdo not mix. “The medium would suit you,” said Alps. Snowreturned to Calgary, purchased for $15 two old lithography pressesthat Western Printing and Lithography had dumped in a backalley, moved the presses into his basement and, with the help ofhis friend and teacher Bates, taught himself how to make colourlithographs. Working with greasy paint or chalk on limestoneslabs, he produced hundreds of limited-edition prints. His subjects

included figures, still lifes and landscapes, variously described bycritics as moody, rich-hued and venturesome.

In the 1960s, while still making lithographs, Snow starteddoing landscapes in oils, and decided that he could achieve richercolours with lithography. He also started making sculptures andbroadened his range further by designing and building stage setsfor a Calgary theatre company. Additionally, Snow was activewith the Calgary Film Society, an organization he had helpedfound in 1946.

Snow retired from the Royal Bank in early 1972, at age 60,after having worked up to assistant manager with the bank’s mainbranch in Calgary. From then on he worked full time on artisticprojects, which now included hooking rugs and making shortfilms. In 1982 Snow and his wife Kathleen founded New WorksCalgary Society, an organization dedicated to commissioning andpresenting works by Calgary composers. He continued to designstage sets and costumes for plays, and showed his prints in

galleries around theworld.

In 1984 Snowreceived both anhonorary doctorate fromthe University ofCalgary, and theAlberta AchievementAward from theprovincial government.Those distinctions, saysCanmore art dealerDoug Maclean, showedthat Snow was thenbeing recognized as thefinest in his field: “I callhim, without anyhesitation, Canada’sbest and most importantlithographer.”

In 1989 theEdmonton Art Galleryopened a retrospectiveexhibition of 100 worksfrom Snow’s four-decadecareer as an artist. Oneof the major sponsors,appropriately enough,was the Royal Bank.When the show arrivedin Calgary the Heraldcritic, Nancy Tousley,declared, “Snow is most

dazzling on stone.” Snow commented that his career reflected alife-long desire to “do my own thing. It’s important to be true towhatever you have inside you.”

Snow remained active as an artist until 1992, when hecompleted a commissioned mural, Themes, that now adorns apharmacy located at the corner of 17 Avenue and 14 Street SWin Calgary. “That was his finale,” says his son, John Vance Snow.“The sheer effort involved in moving the stones, which are 40 to50 pounds each, and then grinding them … he just decided thatwas enough.”

Snow suffered a serious health setback in 1994 when a fall at

his home put him in the hospital for three months. This reversewas followed in 1995 by the death from cancer of Kathleen, hiswife of 31 years — “marvellous Kay,” as he called her. She was awriter who wrote an acclaimed biography of Maxwell Bates,among other books,. Snow married her nine years after the 1954death of his first wife, Bula Mae. “They were an ideal pair, Johnand Kay,” says John Vance Snow. “They complemented oneanother so well.”

In 1996 Snow became the first—and to date only—artist toreceive the Alberta Order of Excellence. “Alberta is nowregarded internationally asa printmaking centre, inlarge part due to thepioneering work of Dr.Snow,” said thegovernment citation.Snow received the honourwith characteristicmodesty. “It’s a wonderfulway to spend some quiettime,” he said. “And itkeeps me interested.”

Snow spent three monthsin the hospital withpneumonia in 2000, afterwhich he moved to aCalgary retirement homewhere he now lives at age 91.

In 2001 the two-storeyhome in Lower MountRoyal where he hadlived and worked forclose to 50 years waspurchased by Calgaryauthor and publisherJackie Flanagan to

accommodate the writers who take part in the Markin-FlanaganDistinguished Writers Programme sponsored by Flanagan and herhusband, Allan Markin. Visiting writers to date have includedTimothy Findley and Robert Kroetsch.

One of Snow’s two big lithograph presses was donated to theUniversity of Calgary art department. The second was donated tothe Alberta College of Art and Design. A third, smaller pressremains in the house, where it is now being used by members ofthe Calgary art community.

A generous selection of Snow’s work can be seen atCollector’s Gallery in Calgary, which has mounted severalexhibitions featuring his prints. Snow’s artworks are also in thecollections of the Alberta Government House Foundation, theAlberta Foundation for the Arts, the National Gallery of Canada,the Glenbow Museum, the Nickle Arts Museum, the EdmontonArt Gallery and the Medicine Hat Museum and Art Gallery.Royal Bank customers, meanwhile, can see one of Snow’slandscapes at the bank’s main branch in downtown Calgary, on awall behind the cashiers.

Boyer has useda variety of media to tell his stories, storiesfrom personal experiences, reflections of socialissues, symbols of spiritualism. He is bestknown for his Blanket Statements, usingHudson’s Bay blankets as a paint surface uponwhich he presented critical views of the effects

of non-Native influences on Native people, the land and thespirit world. More recently, Boyer has chosen to focus, primarilythrough oil on canvas, on the persistence of Aboriginal culturesand spirituality around the world. “Despite the struggles withinour communities, we have maintained our belief in ourselves,”says Boyer. “Our beliefs are strong, the languages have survived...and our moral support for each other is beautiful.” A solo show ofBoyer’s work will be held March 15 to April 9 at AssiniboiaGallery in Regina, 306-522-0997.

Revisiting the Present, Leslie Poole blendsstill life with figurative painting andglimpses of landscape. Portraying isolatedmoments set within the hallways and roomsof his Vancouver home, and pairing new works with earlier piecesdating as far back as 1976, the show is a reversal of post-modernism. “Instead of revisiting the past in terms of the present,I find it interesting to be revisiting the present in terms of thepast,” says Poole. Many of his realist paintings pay visual homageto historic works by such painters as Bonnard and Velazquez, andexplore attitudes and impressions regarding gender and power,sensuality and sexuality. Poole’s work has been diverse over his30-year career, moving from realism to expressionism. In recentyears, he has gravitated back to photo-realism.

work is at Calgary’s Newzones Gallery in March 2003, call 403-266-1972. (JCMac)

place. The “fossils” are hand-blown into pleasing, elegant formsby Morosoff, who then sandblasts a hand-drawn design in reliefon the glass and applies a powdered iron suspension that, whenchemically treated, rusts into a rough encrustation. Morosoff hasapplied the same technique to simple but captivating egg shapesthat draw your gaze into their crystalline centers. Morosoff’s workis “of the highest quality, very precise, yet organic in form,” saysDeborah Herringer Kiss, who is featuring the Submerged Series atHerringer Kiss Gallery this spring, call 403-710-3200 for details.Morosoff has shown in several group and solo shows at suchgalleries as the Canadian Craft Museum and Circle CraftGallery in Vancouver, as well as the Starfish Gallery in Victoria.(JCMac)

JOANNA MOOREWatercolourist Joanna Moore delights in

the beauty to be found in the urban landscape,particularly in the back lanes of residentialneighbourhoods. “I enjoy the unexpected,whimsical beauty of the lanes. They are notperfect; they're slightly disheveled,” she says. Yet the lanes offer

the pattern and texture of fences, reflective puddles, and so muchmore. Moore paints her subjects on location. On any but thecoldest winter days, you might find her strategically parked, paintsspread out on the driver’s seat, canvas propped against hersteering wheel. For larger canvases, she works from a photograph,but Moore much prefers the location work. “Those pieces tend tobe more spontaneous, and I am much more observant when I’mpainting on location.” Plus, she notes, it’s really quite peaceful.“In this violent, hectic and fast-paced life, there is great beauty,intimacy and peace within our grasp,” says the artist. A solo showof Joanna Moore’s work is set for late spring at the Front Galleryin Edmonton, call 780-488-2952. (JCMac)

SUSAN UNGERThe Saskatchewan praire is the context

for Susan Unger’s acrylic paintings,particularly the landscapes and farms around Lampman where theartist grew up. In every painting, the figures are the animals whoinhabit that landscape, the sheep, cows, pigs and chickens Ungerrefers to as the “silent community” that is so much a part of theculture of rural Saskatchewan. Unger’s animals are portrayed withobvious affection. “I am inspired by the inherent characteristics ofthese animals—their shapes, colours, textures and movements,”says Unger. She does not try to depict photo-realistic detail, butprefers to convey an impression of the animals, their relationshipswith each other, the ways in which they fit together to form units,and how their forms become one with the land. A solo show ofnew works by Susan Unger runs April 4 to 26 at the McIntyreGallery in Regina, 306-757-4323. (JCMac)

JIM LOGANJim Logan now lives in Ottawa following several years in

Nova Scotia, but his show this spring at Bearclaw Gallery marks areturn to his Yukon community paintings, says gallery ownerJackie Bugera. “We haven’t seen these scenes for a few years,”she says, but they are the same type of scenes that Logan startedwith based on his experiences as a lay minister on a northernNative reserve. The artist uses a bright and colourful naïve styleto portray life on the reserve, including its unhappy socialproblems—what he calls the “quiet condition.” “I portray both

MARK C. MULLINMark Mullin is quite happy to puzzle himself with perceptual

dilemmas. He translates onto canvas those points at which watermeets sky, matter meets light, and gas meets matter. His oilpaintings are an investigation of the space that surrounds us, inan attempt to “give form to things that are formless.” Inspired

more by chaostheory than arttheory, Mullin usespaint as a “skin offrozen arrestedlight” to createpaintings thatinterpret matter anddimension. SusanAlmrud, owner ofVancouver’s State

Gallery, says she was “completely drawn tothe physical, almost sculptural element” of Mullin’s work. MarkMullin will show his personal expressions of the metaphysicalMarch 12 to April 5 at the State Gallery, upper floor, 1564 West6th Avenue, Vancouver, 604-632-0198. His work is also carried atTrepanierBaer Gallery in Calgary, 403-244-2066. (SH)

LIBBY WEIRFor watercolourist Libby Weir, art, nature and life are

interconnected forces. Using visual references such as theintersection of horizontal and vertical lines, Weir explores theinteraction between people and nature, and the spiritualdimension of thatrelationship.These cross-likeforms, shesuggests, alsorepresent her

personalrelationship to theland, and her attempts to situate herself within it. Originally fromAlberta, Weir currently lives near Onanole, Manitoba. She hashad solo exhibitions at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the ArtGallery of Southwestern Manitoba and the Gallery of Algomain Sault Ste. Marie, and her work is included in several privateand public collections including the Government of ManitobaArt Collection, The Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon and thecollection of the University of Alberta. Weir’s work will be onview at the Upstairs Gallery in Winnipeg as part of a group showof Manitoba artists running March 15 to April 5. Call 204-943-2734. (JCMac)

JULIE DUSCHENESAlthough landscapes and

still-lifes are traditionallyunlinked genres in artmaking,Julie Duschenes combinesimages of telephone receivers,bowls and plates with imagesof the coulees aroundLethbridge to suggest thatwhile language constructs our identity,so too does landscape. The bowls andtelephone receivers float above thelandscape to develop an ironicvocabulary of images that are both anevocative memento mori and a subtle affirmation of life. Havinglived in Lethbridge for many years, Duschenes is hugelyinfluenced by the vivid, expressive coulees that cut through thecity. She teaches printmaking at The University of Lethbridgeand has shown at many major galleries throughout NorthAmerica. The current retrospective of her work featureswatercolours, monoprints, acrylics on cotton, and oil paintingsproduced since 1992. Her work is on exhibition until earlyJanuary at the Monkey Girl Ceramic Company, Lethbridge, 403-317-3137. (SVS)
