Sakahàn: International Indigenous Art

Sun, 26 May 2013 12:00:00 -0400

Sakahàn—meaning “to light [a fire]” in the language of the Algonquin peoples—brings together more than 150 works of recent Indigenous art by over 80 artists from 16 countries, including impressive installations created specifically for the project. Poetic, unexpected and challenging, the artworks document and interrogate distinct cultural and social issues. One of the Gallery’s most ambitious contemporary art exhibitions to date, Sakahàn will extend to partnering venues in the Ottawa region and abroad.

Canadian Bookplates from the National Gallery of Canada

Sun, 26 May 2013 12:00:00 -0400

Bookplates, or ex libris (from the Latin, meaning “from the books of ”), first came into use shortly after the advent of the printing press in the mid-fifteenth century. Attached to the inside cover of books to indicate ownership, they became especially popular among the upper classes in the eighteenth century. In the nineteenth century, the use of bookplates proliferated, appealing to a rapidly growing middle class that increasingly had the opportunity to develop personal book collections.

This exhibition presents a selection of Canadian bookplates from the National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives, the work of Canada’s leading bookplate designers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Clash: Conflict and Its Consequences

Sun, 26 May 2013 12:00:00 -0400

This exhibition draws upon works in the collection to present war and conflict as complex phenomena, ones that have far reaching consequences for both those directly engaged in it, and those at various points of remove. Central to this exhibition is photography’s relation to trauma and remembrance, at a personal, communal and national level, and issues of what constitutes history, for whom and why.

Organized by the National Gallery of Canada.

Masterpiece in Focus: Rubens, Van Dyck, Jordaens

Sun, 26 May 2013 12:00:00 -0400

A small but concentrated exhibition that closely examines key works from the National collections by Rubens, Van Dyck, Jordaens, and their collaborators. The exhibition will allow visitors to discover the artists’ creative world as it reveals the mysteries behind the objects.

Organized by the National Gallery of Canada.

The Noble Art of the Carracci and their School: A Selection of Drawings and Prints

Fri, 31 May 2013 12:00:00 -0400

The work of the illustrious Carracci family — brothers Annibale and Agostino and their cousin Ludovico — represents the finest achievement of Bolognese art. They rose to artistic prominence in the last quarter of the 16th century, and their joint search for a nobler form of painting led to an artistic reform that overthrew the prevailing Mannerist idealism, thereby practically initiating the Baroque. Their historical importance resides not only in their own pioneering work and ground-breaking aesthetic standpoint, but also in their lofty commitment to teaching and to elevating art. The significance of the Accademia degli Incamminati (“academy of those who are making progress”), which they founded, is illustrated in this installation in the work of their leading pupils, among whom Guercino and Guido Reni are the most prominent. Though religious and mythological representations were central to their production, other genres such as landscape and caricature are also in evidence in this selection of twenty works on paper.
