Alex Colville 亞歷克斯·科維爾 (1920-2013) Precisionism Contemporary Realism Canadian

tonykwk39@gmail.com
Alexander Colville (1920-2013) .David Alexander Colville, painter (born 24 Aug 1920 in Toronto, Ontario died 16 July 2013 in Wolfville, Nova Scotia). Alex Colville moved with his family to Amherst, NS, in 1929 and studied at Mount Allison (1938-42).
David Alexander Colville, painter (born 24 Aug 1920 in Toronto, Ontario died 16 July 2013 in Wolfville, Nova Scotia). Alex Colville moved with his family to Amherst, NS, in 1929 and studied at Mount Allison (1938-42). On graduating he joined the army and in 1944 was sent to Europe as a war artist. He returned to Canada late in 1945 and worked in Ottawa on paintings based on his European sketches and watercolours until his demobilization in 1946. Colville taught at Mount Allison 1946-63, when he resigned to devote himself to painting. Between 1952 and 1955 the Hewitt Gallery in New York gave Colville his earliest commercial exhibitions. The most substantial Canadian support for his work at this time came from the National Gallery of Canada, which acquired seven of his paintings in the 1950s.
The 1950 painting Nude and Dummy marks the transition from the reportage of Colville's war pictures to a personal creative direction. His subject matter is invariably chosen from his immediate environment: his family, the animals he keeps, the landscape near his home. The representations, however, are never simply a recording of the everyday; they are highly representational reflections of a world which is at once filled with the joyful and the beautiful, the disturbing and the dangerous. Alex Colville has changed his medium a number of times, from oil to tempera to oil and synthetic resin, and after 1963 to acrylic polymer emulsion. He follows a long, careful process for each composition, taking precise measurements and proportioning these to an underlying geometric scheme. He works on only one composition at a time, and since the 1950s has produced only three or four paintings or serigraphs a year.
The first retrospective of his work was held at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 1983 and subsequently travelled in Canada. In 1984 and 1985 the exhibition toured in Germany and the Far East, including Japan, the first time that an exhibition of the work of a living Canadian artist had been seen in that country. A major exhibition of his work done since 1984 was held at the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal in 1994 and in 2000 an exhibition was mounted at the National Gallery of Canada to mark his 80th birthday. In 2003 the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia organized the touring exhibition Alex Colville: Return, Paintings Drawings and Prints 1994-2002.
In 1966 Alex Colville represented Canada at the Venice Biennale. He was visiting professor at University of California at Santa Cruz in 1967 and in 1971 spent 6 months as a visiting artist in Berlin. He has served on numerous boards and commissions. He designed the Centennial coins, minted in 1967, and the Governor General's Medal, in 1978. In 1984 a film, Alex Colville - The Splendour of Order was produced by Minerva Films. He lived in the small university town of Wolfville, NS, from 1973 until his death in 2013 and was chancellor of Acadia University for ten years. In 1982 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada and in 2003 he received the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts.

大衛亞歷山大·科爾維爾，畫家（生於1920年8月24日在安大略省多倫多，於2013年7月16日在新斯科舍省沃爾維爾死亡）。亞歷克斯·科爾維爾與他的家人一起搬到了阿默斯特，NS，在1929年，在阿利森山（1938-42）學習。畢業後，他加入了軍隊，1944年被派往歐洲作為戰爭藝術家。他於1945年底返回加拿大，在渥太華工作，根據他的歐洲素描和水彩畫繪畫，直到他在1946年復員為止。科爾維爾在阿利森山1946-63號教書，當時辭職致力於繪畫。在1952年至1955年間，紐約的休伊特畫廊給了柯爾維爾最早的商業展覽。加拿大最重要的對他的工作的支持來自加拿大國家美術館，他在五十年代獲得了七幅畫。
1950年的裸體裸體和裸體標誌著從科爾維爾的戰爭照片的報導轉向個人創意方向。他的主題總是從他的直接環境中選擇：他的家人，他所保存的動物，他家附近的風景。然而，這些陳述絕對不是每天的記錄;他們是一個充滿快樂和美麗，令人不安和危險的世界的高度代表性的思考。亞歷克斯·科維爾已經改變了他的媒介從油到溫和到油和合成樹脂，並在1963年以後丙烯酸聚合物乳液。他對每個組合都採取了漫長而仔細的過程，精確測量並將其與基本的幾何方案進行比例。他一次只工作一個作品，自1950年代以來，每年只製作三幅或四幅繪畫或絹畫。
1983年他在安大略美術館舉辦了他的第一次回顧，隨後在加拿大旅行。在1984年和1985年，德國和遠東，包括日本在內的第一次這樣的展覽，在加拿大的這個國家首次見到了加拿大一位活躍藝術家的作品展。自1984年以來，他在巴黎博物館藝術博物館舉辦的一個主要展覽於2000年在加拿大國家美術館舉行了一個展覽，紀念他80歲生日。 2003年，新斯科舍美術館組織了巡迴展覽“亞歷克斯·科爾維爾：返回，繪畫和印刷1994-2002”。
1966年，亞歷克斯·科爾維爾（Alexander Colville）在威尼斯雙年展上代表加拿大。他於1967年在加州大學聖克魯斯分校訪問教授，1971年在柏林度過了6個月的訪問藝術家。他曾擔任過多個董事會和委員會成員。他設計了一百七十年的硬幣，一九七七年製造的總督獎章，以及一九七八年的總督勳章。在一九八四年，一部電影“亞歷克斯·科爾維爾（Alexander Colville） - 命令的輝煌”由米勒瓦電影製作。他從1973年住在NS的Wolfville小型小鎮，到2013年去世，是阿卡迪亞大學校長十年。 1982年，他被任命為加拿大人的同伴，並於2003年獲得總督視覺和媒體藝術獎。

Solidarity with Striking Quebec Students - University of King's College (Halifax, NS)

On March 22 200, 000 people took to the streets of Montreal to protest a potential 75% tuition fee increase over 5 years. Fees in Quebec have been frozen for 30 years and that province has been a model for accessible education. Some university and college students in Quebec are currently on strike.

University of King's College students organized a poutine party on March 22 to show support for Quebec students. Photos can be found here:
