2 Summer 2016

The 2016 Annual Meeting has now taken place according to plan, with a full hall of members, the singing of the constitution, reports from all and sundry, and the election of new Board members. It is gratifying to feel the active engagement of so many of us who are passionate about this Club.

I want, first of all, to thank our outgoing Board members: Bill Buchanan, Irene Katzela, Margaret Kerr, Ian

McGillivray and Alan Somerset. Our Club, like most others, runs on the backs of volunteers. Serving on the Board is not particularly entertaining and it is demanding of your free time. But it is personally rewarding and a necessary obligation to keep the Club running. All of our Board members deserve our thanks and praise for taking this on. I want to thank Bill, Irene, Margaret, Ian and Alan for their counsel and their commitment to our Club.

One member, of course, especially deserves our gratitude. Bill Buchanan has served this Club and its members tirelessly for decades, and words do not suffice to record his contribution or its value. An evening will be set aside in the fall to acknowledge Bill’s lasting impact on the Club.

And to fill the openings created, Stephen Dulmage, Farrell Haynes, Judy Ivkoff and Denis Kulesha have joined the Board. I welcome them to our group and look forward to working with them on your behalf. It is not hyperbole to say that these are exciting times to be on the Board—challenges lie ahead and I am thrilled we have such talent on board to address those challenges.

At the President’s Dinner, following the Annual Meeting and the annual enjoyment of the Cleeve Horne legacy, I was able to celebrate the contributions of five of our members who joined the ranks of the President’s Service Award winners: Bob Beardsley, Scott James, Ian McGillivray, Julian Mulock and Dorene Seltzer. There is not space here to record all that these five have accomplished for the Club. While we all contribute in some way to the life and vitality of the A&L by our volunteer work and our participation in events, these five have unquestionably given most generously of themselves: their contributions both in quantity and quality, have been at the top of the scale. On your behalf, I thank them for their contribution to the health and vitality of our Club.

And speaking of contributions, you will recall that last spring, we asked members to consider, at the time of membership renewal, making a donation to the Heritage Toronto Fund for

Interested in a Club trip to Scotland in 2017?

Information meeting, Wednesday, July 20, 1:00 p.m.

Find out how Scotland invented the modern world. We will examine history, visit castles, museums and galleries, stay in 4-star hotels, eat well, visit a few distilleries and rub elbows with royalty at the Braemar Highland Games while staying at Huntly Castle. We would start in Edinburgh and, after travelling into the highlands, finish our trip in Glasgow.

the restoration of our front façade. I am very pleased to tell you that we raised just shy of $20,000 from that appeal. The names of the donors will be recognized individually elsewhere, but this injection of money has meant that we are well on our way to undertaking this project in the summer of 2017. Thank you to all who were able to contribute.

One item that is still outstanding is the follow-up on our Town Hall meeting. Believe me, the ideas and discussion generated have not been forgotten. I have the notes that were taken, as well as a few follow-up emails from participants. I will be working on these over the summer, and discussing them with Board members to scrutinize and investigate the thoughts and ideas. I will respond to those suggestions in the fall.

And finally, I want to express my personal thanks, as well as the Club’s appreciation, to Ina and Jack Gilbert and friends for their generous donation establishing the Deborah Gilbert Award for Plein Air Painting in memory of their daughter, who was an accomplished plein air painter. This will provide an annual $500 award for plein air painting, to begin next year. Details will be announced by the Art Committee. We very much appreciate the Gilberts’ most creative support of the Club’s artistic activities.

And as if that wasn’t enough, we are also grateful to Jack for his other donations to the Club, including a large screen monitor for use by the HotShots and others, and large photographic portraits by his brother Al Gilbert of former Club members Robertson Davies and A.J. Casson. These can be seen in the display cases on the lower level.

Thank you all for your contributions to the life and well-being of the Club. We are, in no uncertain terms, the sum of our parts and believe me when I say that your part, no matter how large or small, is essential to us.

Have a great summer,John Goddard, President

New MembersMel Delija is an artist and teacher whose main focus is the landscape; he also paints portraits and still life. He manages the Forest Hill Art Club studio, where he teaches a regular series of art classes and arranges an annual art exhibition and sale. He looks forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with other professional artists in our Club. Mel is sponsored by Sheila Latham and Brian Metcalfe.Ulla Nystrom is a retired lithographer and self-taught mixed media artist. She had a long career in graphic arts as a retoucher/colour corrector for advertising; upon retirement she turned full-time to creative art. Ulla was a member of the Heliconian Club, and anticipates meeting and mingling with like-minded people in our Club. She is sponsored by Marjut Nousiainen and the Membership Committee.Eva Peringer is this year’s Ryerson Theatre School Honorary Student Member. Eva is an actor and, coincidentally, the granddaughter of Raymond Peringer.

Members’ NewsRosemary Aubert has had two poems from her Isaac Newton book accepted for publication. “The Plague 1665–1666” appears in the current issue of Grain magazine and “A Man Who Reads Shadows” appears in the latest issue of Queen’s Quarterly.

Laurie De Camillis has been juried into the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition. She will be in Booth #308 at Nathan Philips Square, July 8–10. She will also be participating in the inaugural Toronto Art Blast 2016, Toronto’s city-wide open studio event, July 23–24, at 14 Afton Ave.

Marvyne Jenoff has two collages in the Society of Canadian Artists’ Online Exhibition on the SCA website until July 15: www.societyofcanadianartists.com, and a mixed media collage in the the Colour and Form Society’s Biennial Open Exhibition at the Papermill Gallery, Todmorden Mills until July 10.

Cathy Pascoe’s Black Velvet, one of 120 coloured-pencil drawings from artists worldwide, has been juried into the 24th Annual Colored Pencil Society of America International Exhibition being held this summer in Tacoma, Washington. Another of Cathy’s drawings has been accepted for publication in Ann Kullberg’s new book, CP Treasures IV: Colored Pencil Masterworks from Around the Globe. Cathy’s recent drawing is one of several publications of her work by Kullberg.

This year we welcomed 66 new members, had 57 resignations and lost eight members who died. We ended our fiscal year on March 31 with 572 members. The Constitution requires that at least half of the members be professionals in a LAMPS discipline, and our professional ratio is dead on, at 50%. Although we continue to attract younger members, those who are retired and have generous amounts of time to enjoy what is on offer at the Club represent our largest demographic. In looking for innovative ways to increase our membership, this past year we initiated Club “business cards,” which members can easily carry and give to interested people they meet. The new display racks around the Club with membership information and pamphlets make it easy for you to find information for friends who may wish to join. The initiation fee was deferred once again, and a Board committee is looking into our fee structure. Club members understand that recruitment is everyone’s responsibility and 58 members sponsored new members this year, 13 of them on multiple occasions! The online posting of applications on our website now makes it much more convenient for all members to see who is applying and who they might be interested in meeting. We are “making the Club the preferred destination for its members” by continuing our program to ensure that newer members feel welcome, get involved and remain with the Club—our designated “meet and greet” and “Club Table” events are much appreciated. We have passed along requests for more opportunities to relax at the Club after work, and Happy Hour now takes place every Wednesday. And the new coffee bar on the second floor is in answer to the request from members to be able to enjoy specialty coffee during the day or evening.I welcome any comments or ideas about any aspect of membership.

Susan Goddard, Membership Chair: susan@educan.com

The Arts & Letters AwardThe Arts & Letters Award, the Club’s most prestigious,

was presented on June 6 to Michael Patrick Albano. It is awarded each year to an artist in a LAMPS discipline who

has achieved a high standard of excellence, and who the Club believes is under-recognized. It consists of a medallion, a

complimentary membership for one year, and a $1,000 cheque.

This Award was introduced at the Club 20 years ago thanks to a most generous contribution from Julian Mulock and

to contributions or gifts in kind from Andrew Benyei, John McKellar, Anne Lazare-Mirvish and David Skene-Melvin.

The Club very much wants to continue this award; but the endowment fund is almost depleted. We encourage members to support the continuation of this worthwhile program. To donate, please contact Bill Buchanan: willieb@rogers.com

Review: The Built Environmentby Elizabeth Kilbourn

Our just past exhibition, “The Built Environment,” contained only a handful of works from Club architects: John Snell’s photographs of two familiar places in France; Notre Dame, Paris and a view of Chartres; John Blumenson’s Foster’s Challenge, which juxtaposed a Greek temple and a contemporary glass building; and Bollards, showing a seemingly endless display of spherical stone bollards; George Hume’s small but evocative Sunrise Silhouette, and Ian McGillivray’s intriguing Study for Residential Living, wonderful bas-relief wooden sculpture, Judge, and Door Bosses at University College, for which he not only drew the faces but also provided the contours.These pieces were particularly interesting: Matthew Chapman’s pen-and-ink Black Manor, Southampton, a doll’s house view of many rooms filled with intricate and intriguing objects and details; Marvyne Jenoff’s Dark Window and Blue Town, two mysterious and beautiful collages; Laurie de Camillis’s painting of that great icon of the pastoral environment, Lone Barn, and Jack Gilbert’s surreal pun, The Eyes Have It, a large face in an urban mural holding up the Gardiner.Toronto was the subject for several artists. Judith Davidson-Palmer’s Reflections on Urban Planning is another of her extraordinary photographs that make me dizzy. Peter G.S. Large’s pencil drawing Afternoon at the Gladstone Hotel, Stella Kang’s CN Tower and Jack Gilbert’s First Shovel in the Ground—a large coloured photo of an all-too-common Toronto sight—are all depictions of familiar city scenes. Emily Mandy gave us the Newman Centre and the Pontifical Institute. Johanna Zeeman encapsulated her photographs of urban landscapes in City Sightings, Reassembled and Rezoned, including black-eyed susans and azaleas, in interesting ways. In Urban Contrasts, John Inglis delightfully depicted one of the houses on Elm Street opposite the Club, a skyscraper looming behind, and in front a tree struggling to survive.Venturing further afield were Felicity Somerset’s beautiful Galeries Lafayette in Paris, and Gord Fulton’s photograph, Ephesus Meeting Place. Halfway along the coast of Anatolia, it was one of the great cities, rivalling Rome some two thousand years ago. Surviving as ruins are the grand coliseum where St. Paul preached, the library and the seats where Ephesians sat side by side to dispose of their effluvia and discuss the new gladiator, the price of purple cloth or the latest scandal. Another large and impressive work was Macchu Picchu by Julian Mulock. The painting is a powerful depiction of one of its buildings, the openings in the wall drawing us further and further inside the great stones set without mortar that create sanctuaries with religious and astrological meaning. Wendy Boyd’s unique and charming Outpost, squares of colourful beads, like mosaic tiles, on a background of yet more colourful ones, despicts her own ingeniously created “built environment.”Interestingly, only three artworks include human beings, although the built environment is built for and by us.

Celebrating George Sanders, 1932–2015by Lorna Kelly

Earlier this year, a group of Club members visited the Macdonald Block, home of the John B. Aird Gallery. The gallery is one of the largest spaces in the city for artists to show their work, and it exists and thrives in large part thanks to the efforts of one of the Club’s distinguished visual arts members. Many longer-term members will remember him; newer members will enjoy celebrating his achievements with us. George Sanders, a Club member from 1988 to 2011, was for many years an important force in Ontario’s artistic community. In 1985 he and many other artists were dismayed by the sudden closing of the Macdonald Gallery at Queen’s Park. He became one of the leaders in a plan to persuade the Ontario

government to give over the management of the space to a consortium of six well-established art societies. This led to a formal agreement with the government, and the first exhibition under the new administration opened on June 29, 1985. George was proud to be one of the participating artists in this inaugural exhibition. The proposal was put forward to name the gallery in honour of the past lieutenant governor, John B. Aird, and George and Joan Nicol were delegated to discuss the proposal with Mr. Aird and secure his permission. The Aird Gallery has just celebrated its 31st anniversary. George chaired the Society of Canadian Artists, from 1993 to 1995. He taught at Ryerson in the School of Interior Design from the 1950s until he retired 50 years later—he always thought he should have two 25-year pins! George was a dear friend and I often thanked him for introducing me to the Club. In March of this year, I attended his memorial service in the Friends Meetinghouse in Hamilton, Ontario.

A view of the Aird Gallery, photo taken at the OSA’s recent Open Juried Exhibition

Delija contributed a wonderful scene of people rushing down Yonge Street. In Charles Maurer’s photograph of a Cappadocian woman peeking through the door of her cave home, one can almost feel the roughness of the stone, the smooth wood of the door and the texture of the woman’s clothes—an extraordinary and strangely moving work! Then there was the young man apparently texting on his cellphone, leaning against The Archer, the Henry Moore sculpture in Nathan Phillips Square in front of City Hall. Alan King calls it Meeting at the Archer, but it begs the eternal question: “Where is she?”

Roxie Hart (U.S. 1942)

presented by Warren Clements

To celebrate the U.S. holiday, here’s a lively comedy about the push-me, pull-you relationship between wannabe celebrities and the American tabloids. (Some things never change.) A dancer (Ginger Rogers) confesses to a murder to land publicity. Gung-ho, ethically challenged lawyer Billy Flynn (Adolphe Menjou), defends her. The 1975 stage musical Chicago (and the 2002 movie musical) were based on the same material, though the 1942 film changed a central detail to appease the censors.

Kolya(Czechoslovakia, 1996) Directed by Jan Svěrák

Czech Lion Best Film Winner; Academy Award: Best Foreign Filmpresented by Peter Harris

Franta Louka is a bachelor, a skirt-chaser and an unemployed cellist in Soviet-era Czechoslovakia. He agrees—for a lot of money—to marry a Russian woman who wants Czech papers. Through a series of unforeseen events Louka ends up caring for the woman’s son Kolya. Things go badly for both of them initially, but then the Velvet Revolution, like a Fairy Godmother, magically intervenes.

This film is the cinematic definition of enchantment! “Kolya has a light, dreamlike quality—as if the characters had been kissed by unseen fate, and brought together to enrich each other and feel more sharply the pulse of life.” San Francisco Chronicle

Monday, July 25Love Is All You Need

(Denmark, 2013) Directed by Susanne Bierpresented by Bob Douglas

Philip (Pierce Brosnan), an Englishman living in Denmark, is a lonely, middle-aged widower and estranged single father. Ida (Trine Dyrholm) is a Danish hairdresser, recuperating from a long bout of illness, who’s just been left by her husband for a younger woman. The fates of these two bruised souls are about to intertwine, as they embark on a trip to Italy to attend the wedding of Philip’s son and Ida’s daughter. Most of the film is in English and the setting on the Amalfi coast is lovely.

One reviewer said: “Bier has shaken a cocktail of love, loss, absurdity, humour, and delicately drawn characters that will leave only the hardest heart untouched. It is a film about the simple yet profound pains and joys of moving on—and forward—with your life.”
