Erika Dolphin
with Jonathan L. Meakins

Le cosmos des collectionneurs. La Collection d’estampes Meakins–McClaran provides a glimpse into the making of what is, undoubtedly, the foremost private collection of 16th and 17th-century Dutch and Flemish prints in Canada. While that is the strength of the collection, there is also a joyful touch of eclecticism reflecting the Renaissance interests of the collectors Dr. Jonathan Meakins and Dr. Jacqueline McClaran.

In this beautiful and fully illustrated catalogue, Dr. Meakins takes us through the collection’s history, which began forty years ago in Paris following an afternoon in a room full of prints by Camille Pissarro at the Grand Palais. He reflects upon how a collection is never static; it ebbs and flows much like life. The other essay by Erika Dolphin, a personal account of her exploration of the collection, examines the flourishing of images of landscape in northern Europe and illustrates how art in the form of a humble print can lead us to reflect upon the myriad wonders of life.

Sheila Watt-Cloutier

There is another way to advocate for the protection of our planet: demanding that the international community recognize environmental well-being as a fundamental human right. Without a stable and secure climate, people cannot exercise their economic, social, and cultural rights. For the Inuit, as for all of us, this is what I call “the right to cold.”

This unique phrase, “the right to cold,” sums up the spirit of the struggle that Sheila Watt-Cloutier has waged for more than 20 years on the international stage to make climate change a human rights issue. It was under her presidency of the Inuit Circumpolar Council that a petition to this effect was filed in 2005 with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the first international legal action of its kind. Since the culture and economic autonomy of the Inuit depend on cold weather and ice, anthropogenic global warming constitutes a denial of their social, cultural, and health rights. “The impact of climate change on the Arctic is a precursor to what awaits the rest of the world,” she says.

From her childhood in Kuujjuaq, in northern Quebec—at a time when the traditional Inuit culture of dog sledding and ice hunting was still dominant—to her commitment to the environment in international forums, Le droit au froid is the story of an inspiring woman who has become a model of leadership for the 21st century.

Martina Weinhart

With contributions by Rebecca Herlemann, Ruth Phillips, Carmen Robertson, Jeff Thomas, Georgiana Uhlaryik, Reneée van der Avoird, Martina Weinhart and Interviews with Lisa Jackson and Caroline Monnet

In the early 20th century, artists such as Emily Carr, Tom Thomson, and members of what would become the Group of Seven, transformed Post-Impressionism techniques into exciting new ways of interpreting the Canadian landscape.

Challenging existing traditions, they left major cities such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver and ventured deep into the Canadian wilderness. Often remaining in the bush for weeks on end, they reimagined the natural world using bold colours, stylized forms, and dynamic brushwork, producing vibrant modernist works that would define Canada and Canadian art for decades to come.

Premiering at Frankfurt’s Schirn Kunsthalle, Magnetic North features 87 works of art, including 23 works from the National Gallery of Canada. The exhibition also comprises five films, including two by contemporary Indigenous artists: How a People Live, a documentary by filmmaker Lisa Jackson and Mobilize, a short film by artist Caroline Monnet.

Magnetic North was organized by the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the National Gallery of Canada, with the generous support of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

Pierre Théberge, Jean Clair 

On the heels of the Roaring Twenties, the 1930s, which spanned from the economic crisis of 1929 to the outbreak of the Second World War, was a dark decade. Beyond similar governmental mechanisms, these regimes shared an ideology: the will to create what they called the "New Man." This decade began with a more or less innocent dream of the theme of the original egg, germination, the harmonious growth of a fabric both biological and social, but ended with the nightmarish discovery of corpses in the concentration camps by the armies of liberation in 1945.

Les années soixante au Canada follows the trends in Canadian artistic production during that decade which tested the conventional boundaries of artistic disciplines; photographic works also testify to the experimentation and eclectisicm that characterize Canadian photography. Nearly 180 featured works by Canadian artists pinpoint the diversity of artistic expression throughout this remarkably prolific period.
