SUMMARY:Acoustic Conversations: Franklin Carmichael Guitar
DESCRIPTION:Luthier David Wren created this guitar inspired by the artist Franklin Carmichael\, and Wren will be in a moderated conversation with musician Mike Francis about the creation of the guitar before a live performance\, where Francis will perform. \nFranklin Carmichael (1890 – 1945)\, Farm\, Haliburton\, 1940\, oil on hardboard\, 96.3 x 122 cm\, Given In Memory of Alice and Douglas Bales by Their FamilyMcMichael Canadian Art Collection\, 1997.2\nDavid Wren was born in 1952 and raised in Toronto. In 1974\, he was accepted as an apprentice by Jean Larrivée\, who many consider to be the father of Canadian guitar building. During his tenure at the Larrivée workshop\, Wren worked alongside several of his now-Group of Seven Guitar Project luthiers. By 1977\, he opened his own guitar-building shop.  During the seventies and eighties\, David was privileged to build guitars from celebrated musicians Bruce Cockburn\, Jackson Browne\, and Joan Baez. In 1990\, David became a partner in the Twelfth Fret Guitarists’ Pro Shop in Toronto—Canada’s premier custom guitar store—but by 2009\, the call to build guitars became too loud to ignore. The last seven years have seen Wren guitars commissioned locally\, nationally\, and internationally by players from New York to Kuala Lumpur. \nMike Francis is considered by many to be the most recorded guitar player in Canada. He has spent over 35 years working in the Toronto recording scene on literally thousands of jingles\, numerous tv shows\, films\, and recording projects for variety artists and producers. The various styles he plays include Blues\, R+B\, Funk\, Jazz\, Pop\, Folk and Country music.  He has recorded with Alanis Morissette\, Jann Arden\, Enrique Iglesias\, Anne Murray\, Gordon Lightfoot\, Nelly Furtado\, Kim MItchell\, Alannah Myles\, Jesse Winchester\, Smokey Robinson\, and many others. \nModerator Kerry Crawford is musician and producer who has spent over thirty years in recording studios\, working in a production capacity for advertising music\, TV shows such as Second City Television\, and producing records for noted Canadian artists such as Bruce Cockburn and Jane Siberry. Kerry has enjoyed working with a diverse group of musicians whose venues have ranged from the sidewalk to our finest concert halls. Being a guitarist himself\, he has taken a special interest in the evolution of the instrument and is a great admirer of the remarkably talented luthiers participating in the McMichael Canadian Art Collection’s The Group of Seven Guitar Project. \n  \n  \nAt 1pm\, an in-gallery talk will precede the Acoustic Conversation event.

SUMMARY:Acoustic Conversation: Frank Johnston Guitar
DESCRIPTION:  \nTHIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT \n  \nLuthier George Gray created this guitar inspired by the work and life of Frank Johnston. Gray and Jonhston share a passion for flight\, and Gray’s guitar incorporates a photograph he took from his own two-seater airplane of the same view of Beamsville that Johnston painted from above. Gray will be in a moderated conversation with musician Don Ross about the creation of the guitar before a live performance\, where Ross will perform. \nFrank Johnston (1888 -1949)\, Thunderers c. 1922\, oil on board\, 27.4 x 34.5 cm\, Gift of E. Louise and R.G.K. Morrison\, McMichael Canadian Art Collection\, 1977.41\nGeorge Gray started playing guitar at the age of thirteen\, and by the time he was in his mid-twenties he had developed a love of the acoustic guitar. A chance meeting in early 1976 with Jean Larrivée at a Toronto music store led to a three-year apprenticeship with him in both Toronto and Victoria\, B.C. In late 1978\, Gray returned to Ontario and opened his own shop on the outskirts of Toronto in the town of Markham. In the 1990s\, Gray’s life took an unexpected turn when his father became ill and he was called upon to run the family business. It was during this time that Gray developed an interest in aviation and acquired his private pilot’s licence. In 2008\, Gray returned to guitar building. The atmosphere of sharing and mutual support that existed among the luthiers of the early days of the Larrivée shop continues to this day. \nDonald James Ross is a Canadian fingerstyle guitarist. He is the only person to twice win the US National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship (1988 and 1996). His album Huron Street reached the top ten on the Billboard new age chart. \nModerator William “Grit” Laskin wears many hats.  His primary one is that of guitar maker\, a profession he has pursued since 1971.  His steel-string\, classical and flamenco guitars are known and coveted around the world. Players of his instruments include: k.d. lang\, Ben Mink\, Rik Emmett\, Tom Cochrane\, Jesse Cook\, Wayne Johnson\, Tom Chapin\, Garnet Rogers\, Stan Rogers\, Ottmar Liebert\, Ken Whiteley\, James Keelaghan\, Cathy Fink & Marcy Marxer\, Kobukuro (Japan)\, Lillebjørn Nilsen (Norway).  Commissions from guitar-maker colleagues and others within the trade include: Bill Collings (Collings Guitars\, Texas)\, Roger Sadowsky (Sadowsky Guitars\, New York)\, Dick Boak (director\, Martin Guitars\, Pennsylvania)\, Larry Sifel (pres.\, Pearl Works\, Maryland) and Chuck Erickson (Duke of Pearl LLC). His current waiting list of commissions is over 25 months long. \n  \nAt 1pm\, an in-gallery talk will precede the Acoustic Conversation event.

Monter une exposition me semblait la solution idéale. Je ne prétends pas que cette sélection est « le fin du fin»\, loin de là. Choisies parmi les quelque 6500 œuvres dans la collection\, ces 200 peintures ne représentent que la partie visible de l’iceberg. Cela dit\, ce sont celles qui m’ont interpellé lors de ma première visite dans les réserves. D’une grille coulissante à l’autre\, les peintures que j’ai choisies ont amorcé un dialogue\, se regroupant naturellement et dictant en quelque sorte l’accrochage. – Ian Dejardin

Hallendy Archives\, Gift of Norman E. Hallendy and Diana Cousens\, 2015 McMichael Canadian Art Collection Archives ARC NH2015.6\nEn inuktitut\, tukilik désigne « une chose ayant une signification ». Cette exposition explore les nombreuses significations et interprétations artistiques des inuksuit (le pluriel d’inukshuk) de l’île de Baffin\, y compris des dessins\, estampes\, sculptures et plus de soixante photographies provenant du riche fonds des Archives Norman E. Hallendy conservées au McMichael. \n  \nLes inuksuit comptent parmi les structures les plus anciennes et les plus importantes jamais érigées dans l’Arctique. Les Inuits ne les considèrent pas comme des œuvres d’art. Ce sont des points de repère et tous ne sont pas à l’image d’un humain. Leurs formes et leurs fonctions sont des plus diverses. Ils servent d’aides à la chasse\, de repères ou de symboles\, de monuments commémoratifs\, ainsi que de lieux de pouvoir et de vénération. Étant donné la nature sacrée de nombreux inuksuit\, ils sont rarement représentés dans l’art inuit. Au cours de la dernière décennie\, l’inukshuk s’est imposé comme symbole des Inuits\, de leur terre\, voire du Canada. \n  \nPudlo Pudlat (1916 1992)Our Mystic Landscape 1990coloured pencil and felt tip pen on paper51 x 64.6 cmThe Norman E.

SUMMARY:J.E.H. MACDONALD : EN DÉTAIL
DESCRIPTION:Compris dans le prix du billet \nGratuit pour les membres Adulte – 18 $\nÉtudiant/Aîné – 15 $\nFamille – 36 $\n(Forfaits des mardis) \nACHETEZ VOS BILLETSJ.E.H. MacDonald (1873-1932) Intérieur de l’auberge\, lac O’Hara\, v. 1925 huile sur carton 21\,4 x 26\,6 cm Don des fondateurs Robert et Signe McMichael Collection McMichael d’art canadien 1966.16.36\nJ.E.H MacDonald : En détail célèbre l’art et la démarche artistique de J.E.H. MacDonald à travers des œuvres de la collection du McMichael. La restauratrice Alison Douglas partagera le résultat de ses recherches sur l’artiste. Réunissant des photographies microscopiques\, l’exposition analyse les techniques utilisées par l’artiste\, notamment sa prédilection pour les études de petites dimensions. \nJ.E.H. MacDonald\nJ.E.H. MacDonald est né à Durham\, en Angleterre\, de mère anglaise et de père canadien. Sa famille déménage au Canada en 1887. Il fréquente la Hamilton Art School et la Central Ontario School of Art and Design à Toronto. Il travaille chez Grip Ltd. de 1895 à 1911\, année où Lawren Harris le convainc de se consacrer à la peinture. En 1922\, MacDonald accepte un poste de professeur à temps plein à l’Ontario College of Art. \nSes confrères le décrivent comme un rouquin tranquille et frêle\, affichant l’air rêveur d’un poète et d’un philosophe – un « romantique ». Lors des excursions\, MacDonald ne dessine pas\, mais se plonge dans un livre. Parmi ses œuvres les plus accomplies figurent des paysages sauvages de la région d’Algoma\, en Ontario. MacDonald a également signé recueil de poésie\, West by East\, qui a été publié à titre posthume.
