On this very special edition of Content Minded, I cover a recentvisit to the McMichael Gallery and talk about something very near anddear to my heart as a Canadian Artist, that is the art of Canadaitself and its various aesthetics and artistic traditions. I startwith a discussion on the Indigenous art of Kinngait that was featuredand the art and influence of Norval Morrisseau. then I go into alengthy discussion of the Group of Seven, Landscape painting, andJames Wilson Morrice’s plein air paintings of Venice.

The full over 3 hour podcast goes into the questions of art andthe creation of a Canadian identity and sense of purpose on the worldstage featuring a reading of the fame address on Canadian art bytheFoundations of True Canadian Art (Content Minded Ep.88). group ofseven luminary A.Y. Jackson. You might not find a lot of ‘hottakes’ here but hopefully something meaningful, and a topic I amcommitted to discussing in the future.
