SUMMER with the

IMPRESSIONISTS Be whisked away to La Belle Époque with Manitoba’s first-ever major display of French Impressionist paintings, drawings, and sculptures. The Impressionists sparked a revolution in European art in the late 19th century when they broke from convention by spontaneously painting out-of-doors and ‘on the spot’ rather than in a studio from sketches. Capturing landscapes and scenes of everyday life, some of the most beloved artists of all time are featured in this spectacular showcase: Mary Cassatt, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and many others.

June 16–Sept 9 Galleries 7, 8, 9

Members’ Preview: June 15, 6:30-10pm

French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850-1950 includes more than 60 pieces from the Brooklyn Museum, New York’s renowned collection of French art.

The Impressionists on Paper brings over 20 artworks from the National Gallery of Canada’s eminent collection of Impressionist art with watercolours, pastels, drawings, and prints.

YOU ASKED AND WE LISTENED! The Impressionists are some of the most beloved artists of all time. Recognized for their distinct style and subject matter, together they shaped an artistic movement that changed the art world. This summer, the Winnipeg Art Gallery could not be happier to bring you two incredible exhibitions featuring the Impressionists: French Moderns: Monet to Matisse, 1850-1950 from the Brooklyn Museum; and The Impressionists on Paper from the National Gallery of Canada (NGC). The WAG is your art museum and you asked to see the Impressionists. We listened and are thrilled to give you Manitoba’s first major display of French Impressionist paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Inside these Tyndall stone walls I hope you discover something new about art and the Impressionists that you didn’t know before; an artwork you’ve never seen or an artist that surprises you. While working on the Brooklyn Museum and NGC shows, I was struck by the lack of women artists represented.

Although we are lucky the collection includes work by two of “Les Trois Grandes Dames” of Impressionism (Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot), the gender imbalance brought about a third exhibition. Defying Convention features pieces from the WAG collection by women artists working around the same time in Canada. The exhibition highlights the lives and experiences of women across the country: from Nunavut to the Prairies, and from British Columbia to Eastern Canada. The three shows are a unique opportunity for you to experience some of the most exhilarating moments in art, and from many perspectives. I am always learning at the WAG and that is what makes my job fulfilling and meaningful. Working for you and sharing world-renowned art in Winnipeg is what we do here at the WAG. Thank you for your incredible support.

EXHIBITIONS

19TH CENTURY SELFIES

evolutionary. Scandalous. Radical. Rebels. The Impressionists were labeled with offensive names and scorned by the artistic establishment. Unwilling to conform to the norms of the day, they broke with tradition and saw the world differently. Their creativity ostracized them from the art academy, but they refused to be stopped as they pushed forward expressing the changes around them.

The 19th century was a time of incredible transformation in Europe. The French Revolution and the Napoleonic era had driven violent political change. Innovation was creating upheaval as technological advances and industrialization altered the look of towns and cities. The art world was also transforming. Landscape painting was becoming more common. Prior to the 19th century, it often played a secondary role, as background for mythological, religious, or historical scenes. The term “landscape” didn’t appear in the English vernacular until the beginning of the 17th century. By the 1880s, the Impressionist landscape had become synonymous with a fresh vision of nature that was both spontaneous and individual. The Impressionists discovered an entirely new manner of painting. Working outdoors, they used vivid colors, often applied to the canvas in loose, broken brushstrokes. They were fascinated with the relationship between color and light, and how the light was altered by changing atmospheric conditions and was reflected differently from various surfaces.

Science, artist materials, and photography influenced the Impressionists and provided them the opportunity to work outside. New research on optical mixing and the “principles of harmony and contrast of colors” guided the Impressionists in their use of complementary colours for light and shadow. Tubes of paint (as opposed to working from dry pigment) and portable canvases and easels, made it easier for artists to work outdoors. The blurred images and muted contours of early photographs (made on glass plates) also changed the way artists looked at their subject. France witnessed a dramatic increase in travel and tourism in the last half of the 19th century, due in large part to the expansion of the railway lines and the accelerated industrialization of the cities. Artists and urban dwellers were eager to paint outside and find retreats in the countryside. Paris connected them to all the major French cities, with further links to the outlying regions of the country. Driven by innovation, Impressionist artists took advantage of the changing world. Guided by technological advancements, they seized the altering attitude of landscape artwork and took to the outdoors capturing a fresh, real time selfie of nature creating some of the most recognizable artworks of today.

DEFYING CONVENTION: WOMEN ARTISTS IN CANADA, 1900-1960

his exhibition is drawn from the WAG collection and features more than 30 artists from across the country inviting dialogue about the significant gender imbalance in French Moderns and The Impressionists on Paper. Defying Convention celebrates female painters and sculptors who

challenged artistic traditions and gender roles. They were truly modern, and embraced self-expression, contemporary life, and the immediacy of the world and people around them. Their stories are as rich and diverse as the styles they explored. The art they made reveals the insistent nature of their personal visions.

lowers, flowers, and more flowers! An artist and amateur naturalist, Linda Fairfield Stechesen’s The Garden is a testament to the artist’s passion for Manitoba plants. Raised in Portage-la-Prairie, Fairfield Stechesen began illustrating the flora of Manitoba in the summer of 1977. Her interest developed over the following three decades into what she deemed an obsession to capture the diverse plant life of the province. In The Garden, you will be surrounded by 50 botanical illustrations and nine specimens on loan from the University of Manitoba Vascular Plant Herbarium.

SHAMAN STORIES

haman Stories brings together the work of two highly influential artists for whom the human and spirit worlds, and the messengers who navigate those worlds—shamans—loom large. Norval Morrisseau played a crucial role in the development of contemporary Indigenous art in Canada. The six works by Morrisseau in this exhibition highlight the artist's unique transcription of sacred Anishinaabe visual storytelling in paint, on canvas. The contemporary Inuit sculptor, Abraham Anghik Ruben, likewise uses his work to express interconnection between the natural and spirit worlds. His carvings often comprise a complex and multifaceted weave of faces and features, capturing moments of metamorphosis.

EXHIBITIONS

Love of nature in all its forms must be the ruling spirit of such works of art we are considering –William Morris

organic

Inspired by the land and art historical references to nature's beauty and exuberance, organic offers sumptuous floral paintings by Brooklyn-based Tess Michalik and delicate watercolor botanical illustrations by Winnipeg artist Chantal Dupas. A perfect pairing alongside the Impressionists, Michalik’s floral abstractions celebrate nature through Rococo-inspired lyricism and colour. Dupas’ watercolours suggest a more scientifically rooted and exacting approach, obscuring details to underline both a connection to and an estrangement from domestic botanicals.

The paintings are joined by decorative artwork selected by the curator and artists. The ceramics, glassware, and fabric designs are recontextualized as an installation that disrupts exhibition convention, drawing connections to layers of reference and influence, and questioning ideas of value. organic is the first in an ongoing series of exhibitions at the WAG that responds in different ways to timely social, political, cultural, and aesthetic issues. Follow as the series presents contemporary artwork and projects reflecting intersecting practices that give voice to a broad range of perspectives with a focus on Manitoba artists and content.

On view until Sept 30 Galleries 5, 6

akKijâjuk: Art and Craft from Nunatsiavut is a must-see exhibition of Inuit art from the northern coastal region of Labrador. SakKijâjuk, which means “to be visible” in the Labrador dialect of Inuttitut, is a nationally touring exhibition revealing the diverse and dramatic history of more than six decades of arts by Labrador Inuit. Through the work of four generations of artists—Elders, Trailblazers, Fire Keepers, and the Next Generation—this exhibition reveals the vital yet long-hidden art history of Nunatsiavut, highlighting the enduring resilience of our artists.

Supported by the Dorothy Strelsin Foundation Organized by // Organisé par The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery Division, St. John’s, NL. This project has been made possible in part by the Government of Canada, the Nunatsiavut Government, and the International Grenfell Association. Ce projet a été rendu possible en partie grâce au gouvernement du Canada, au gouvernement du Nunatsiavut et au International Grenfell Association.

In 1949, Newfoundland joined Confederation, but its government could not reach an agreement with Ottawa on who would be responsible for the Indian and Inuit populations. Instead, both Newfoundland and Canada decided against extending any federal considerations to the new province’s Inuit, NunatuKavut, Mi’kmaw, or the Innu Nation, in contrast to the rest of the country. This political decision had the unintended effect of making Labrador Inuit artists ineligible to participate in any of the developments that emerged from the federally funded Inuit art initiatives advanced throughout what is now

EXHIBITIONS

Nunavut and Nunavik. Since 1949, contemporary Inuit art has grown into a rich, varied practice and a respected field of study, as well as a multimillion-dollar industry; however, Labrador Inuit artists have remained nearly invisible within this history. While a handful of artists have found critical and commercial success on their own in recent decades, the understanding and recognition of Labrador Inuit art as a whole is still deeply lacking. SakKijâjuk showcases the exciting variety of media and styles practiced throughout the region, including sculptural pieces in stone, bone, antler, wood, and mixed-media; 2D arts such as painting, drawing, print-making, and photography; video and sound, sealskin and hide, wallhangings and grass basketry. This groundbreaking exhibition presents a critical opportunity to introduce Nunatsiavummiut artists and craftspeople to the world. – Dr. Heather Igloliorte is an Assistant Professor of Aboriginal art history at Concordia University in Montreal. She is co-chair of the WAG Indigenous Advisory Circle and leads the team of curators planning the inaugural exhibitions of the Inuit Art Centre, set to open in 2020.

NIVINNGAJULIAAT FROM BAKER LAKE

he creative spirit of the Baker Lake community is epitomized in the art of wall hangings, or nivinngajuliaaq, in Inuktitut. Established as a permanent settlement in the 1950s, Baker Lake is situated at Canada’s geographical centre and is home to some of the most stunning wall hangings in the world. Featuring pieces from the Government of Nunavut Fine Art Collections, on loan to the WAG, you’re in for a colourful treat when you step inside the Gallery. Nivinngajuliaat from Baker Lake brings together 12 large-scale works that date between the 1970s and the 1990s by nine artists, most of

whom are women. Irene Avaalaaqiaq and Jessie Uunaq (Oonark) show their mastery of visual storytelling through their use of stitching and appliqué cut-outs to create felt storyboards. The two artists also illustrate the exhibition’s overall range of subject matter, from Uunaq’s autobiographical depiction of scenes from her own life, to the supernatural themes found in Avaalaaqiaq’s work. Marion Tuu’luuq, is a master of precision, who builds narrative more through stitch work than appliqué. While it celebrates one community’s mastery of a medium, Nivinngajuliaat from Baker Lake provides a glimpse at a unique Inuit art form that is now practiced throughout the Arctic.

Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with funds from the Estate of Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Naylor; funds administered by the Winnipeg Foundation and with funds from the Canada Council for the Arts Acquisition Assistance program/Oeuvre achetée avec l’aide du programme d’aide aux acquisitions du Conseil des Arts du Canada. 2016-2

ays of Seeming brings together key contemporary acquisitions purchased by the WAG between 2008 and 2016. View the work of a dozen photographers, painters, sculptors, and craft artists with an interest in the way that things—objects and ideas—are not always what they seem. Artists have always been fascinated by visual uncertainty. Lisa Klapstock’s photographs explore how camera framing constructs the way we see and experience a given environment. Paul Butler’s Edited Drawings appear to be collaged abstractions, when in fact the artist uses an assortment of adhesive tape to redact his own failed drawings.

EXHIBITIONS

Contemporary art has also become increasingly entangled with issues that go beyond the optical. In Ways of Seeming, a number of artists use images and objects to raise conceptual questions about the relationship between fact and stereotype, history and fiction, original and copy. KC Adams’ cyborg hybrid portraits combine the pictorial vocabularies of 19th century ethnographic and modern fashion photography to celebrate individuality and undermine racist cliché. Alison Norlen’s Victoria Bridge brings imaginative life and whimsy to a seemingly inert piece of utilitarian engineering by tying it to historical lore. Above all, Ways of Seeming highlights the degree to which contemporary artists engage with the broader project of questioning common assumptions about the world, what it is and the myriad ways we relate to it.

UPCOMING@WAG Members, here’s a sneak peek of what’s on view at the WAG this fall.

MEMBER PROFILE: LIV VALMESTAD

“Visual art can challenge, capture, and even transport you to another place – that’s why I believe it is important.” Q: When did you become a WAG member? A: I believe I first became a member in 1997, when I first moved to Winnipeg. I renewed on and off throughout the years, but purchased a family membership when my children were older. Subsequently, my daughter became interested and attended WAG Studio through a scholarship and is now studying art and art history at Concordia University. Q: Why did you become a WAG member? A: As an artist, art historian, and art librarian, I think it’s very important to support the arts and the programming that the WAG does. I grew up in Saskatoon and my dad would take me to the Mendel Art Gallery and I still remember being struck by Lawren Harris’ Untitled (Mountains near Jasper) hanging above the stairs to the lower level. I also attended studio classes there and became an instructor in the studio program when I was an art student in university. Q: You recently purchased 52 WAG memberships for your students. Why was that important for you to do? A: I’m teaching a course on visual literacy in the Faculty of Architecture, University of Manitoba, and I want the students to have an opportunity to see and examine visual culture first hand. Furthermore, being cognoscente of the U of M’s goal to advance Indigenous research and scholarship, I am including lectures and assignments on Indigenous art and wanted my students to see the powerful and thought-provoking INSURGENCE/RESURGENCE exhibition curated by Jaimie Isaac and Julie Nagam. This collection of contemporary Indigenous art is perhaps the largest of its kind and really kicks ass! Q: Describe your most memorable WAG visit? A: I do not think I have one specific visit, but I can say that the shows with a landscape component really

EXHIBITIONS

speak to me. I can think of Wanda Koop’s Paintings for Dimly Lit Rooms, Diane Whitehouse’s Points of Departure large landscapes, Robert Houle’s A Place Where God Lives series, William Kurelek’s The Messenger, and Diana Thorneycroft’s remix of the Group of Seven’s landscape paintings in Canada, Myth, and History, Group of Seven Awkward Moments Series. Q: Why do you think experiencing art is

important? A: Visual art, like any other art form, can challenge, capture, and even transport you to another place. I think “experiencing” is the key word, because only in person can you appreciate the physicality – the texture, scale, and the visceral presence of the work and actually take the time to allow the art to unfold before your eyes.
