riChard rhodES, Editor
Thirty years! Who would have predicted this kind of longevity for Canadian Art back in 1984, when it launched with a winsome photo of Winnipeg painter Wanda Koop on the cover of the first issue? The magazine had picked a hard niche to fill: a coffee-table magazine with top-notch production values that would bridge the widest range of art being made across Canada. Was the Canadian market big enough to support such a venture? Sometimes we wondered, especially when recession hit in the early 1990s. But we came through, thanks to our faithful readers and contributors and the work of early editors such as Susan Walker, Jocelyn Laurence and Sarah Milroy—and thanks too to our committed advertisers from one end of the country to the other, who knew that they were representing remarkable Canadian art that would stand the test of time. Since those days, we’ve grown as an organization and moved firmly into the digital world of the 21st century with our website and tablet editions. To celebrate our 30th anniversary, we’ve pulled together a collection of our covers to tell the story in images—and the designs of art directors Ken Rodmell, Georges Haroutiun, James Ireland, John Ormsby and Barbara Solowan. The covers are also on our website, canadianart.ca, where you will find online access to the compelling cover stories that now tell the tale of a generation.
