Varley Art Gallery
I had a very nice tour and explanation of the Varley Art Gallery out in Unionville, Ontario Canada given to ME by Niamh O'Laoghaire, Director of the gallery.
We went around to various areas of the art gallery and she gave ME excellent explanations and descriptions of the various art works that are on display.
I want to personally Thank Niamh O'Laoghaire for the Wonderful Tour that I had today and I want to also Thank Sarchin for offering ME an additional Second (2nd) tour as well!

Frederick Horsman Varley, also known as Fred Varley (January 2, 1881 -- September 8, 1969), was a member of the Canadian Group of Seven artists.
Varley was born in Sheffield, England. in 1881. He studied art in Sheffield. He attended Académie royale des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp, Belgium. He worked on the docks. He immigrated to Canada in 1912 on the advice of another Sheffield native (and future Group of Seven member), Arthur Lismer, and found work at the Grip Ltd. design firm in Toronto, Ontario.
Beginning in January 1918, he served in the First World War with C.W. Simpson, J.W. Beatty and Maurice Cullen. Varley came to the attention of Lord Beaverbrook, who arranged for him to be commissioned as an official war artist. He accompanied Canadian troops in the Hundred Days offensive from Amiens, France to Mons, Belgium. His paintings of combat are based on his experiences at the front. Although he had been enthusiastic to travel to France as a war artist, he became deeply disturbed by what he saw: We'd be healthier to forget [the war], and that we never can. We are forever tainted with its abortiveness and its cruel drama.
Varley's Some Day the People Will Return, shown at the Burlington House in London and at the Canadian War Memorials Exhibition, is a large canvas depicting a war-ravaged cemetery, suggestive that even the dead cannot escape the destruction
Frederick Varley's Painting For What? portrays a cart filled with bodies collected from the battlefield. It starkly portrays the horror of war and questions its purpose. In a letter dating from mid-May 1919 to his wife, Maud, this eminent Canadian artist summed up his feelings about the war. I'm mighty thankful I've left France - I never want to see it again. This last trip over has put the tin hat on it. To see the land half cultivated & people coming back to where their homes were is too much for my make up. You'll never know dear anything of what it means. I'm going to paint a picture of it, but heavens, it can't say a thousandth part of a story. We'd be healthier to forget, & that we never can. We are forever tainted with its abortiveness & its cruel drama - and for the life of me I don't know how that can help progression. It is foul and smelly - and heartbreaking. Sometimes I could weep my eyes out when I get despondent... To be normal, to be as those silly cows & sheep that do naught but graze & die, well, it's forgetfulness.
In Markham, Ontario, the Varley Art Gallery is named after him, as is Fred Varley Drive, a two-lane residential street in Unionville. Varley lived nearby at the Salem-Eckhardt House.

3rd annual Age of Literati Culture Festival第三届文人时代文化艺术节之一
古琴雅乐讲座， 朱彦晏，万锦瓦利艺术馆，2018年9月29日
自2008年以来，一同家园文化中心的艺术家和艺术团体每年都参与和主办文化艺术活动，音乐会演出和社区庆祝活动，已经在加拿大多元文化社区活跃了10年，大力推广传统古典雅乐和诗词吟诵以及举办书画展览讲座，传统武术表演和讲座等，并吸引了年轻一代参与学习传统文化。自2016年始， 每年一同家园文化中心主办的文人时代文化艺术节成为加拿大主流社会规模最大的传统文化艺术活动的盛事之一。艺术节不仅汇聚了华裔族群顶尖艺术家展露才华， 更是吸引到越来越多加拿大各族裔本地青少年参与中国传统古典音乐舞蹈书画的学习和表演。
2018年第三届文人时代文化艺术节第一天活动于9月29日在万锦市瓦利艺术馆成功举办。内容有古琴雅乐讲座、 宋代点茶工作坊、 书画示范讲座、诗词音乐、戏曲演唱等活动。
古琴雅乐讲座由古琴家朱彦晏女士主讲，介绍自周代雅乐的仪式感（小雅，大雅），唐宋音乐的人性魅力，明至近代琴曲的流行和历史背景，并现场演奏，让观众欣赏到传承几千年的传统雅乐，对传统的琴棋书画四艺之首艺有了近距离的接触。 古琴经千年风霜，传播式微而成人类世界文化遗产，需要年轻一代认同传统文化艺术价值观，自觉参与学习和传承。
茶道讲座则由加拿大茶协会的茶艺师霍天齐先生主讲，观众们颇为惊奇能从一位本地白人口中听到滔滔不绝介绍中国古代茶文化和历史，更欣赏了他沉浸在朱彦晏女士伴奏的宋代琴曲中，专注准备和制作一碗宋代点茶的整个过程。 大家都对传统的茶文化发生了浓厚的兴趣，现场提问的观众很是踊跃。
多伦多国剧社特别为活动加演了几段著名唱段，有几位演员花了两个钟头化妆配上戏剧头饰认真准备彩唱，还安排了戏剧文武场乐器的介绍和戏剧服饰的演示，现场观众还有难得的机会试穿戏装，摆出戏剧造型，其乐融融。有年轻姑娘当场表示愿意参加戏剧活动。
接下来李祥民先生简短的书画示范讲座、耆乐社演奏传统的诗词音乐都让观众们意尤未竟、
流连忘返。

(DA BAO)(TAKEOUT)
Nov 15 - Jan 5
Art Gallery of Mississauga
Guest curated by Shannon Anderson and Doug Lewis
Organized by the Varley Art Gallery of Markham
(Da bao)(Takeout) is an attempt to locate a cross-cultural and social dynamic between China and the West, specifically Canada, by focusing on artists who investigate, adapt and instil ideas from abroad into their practices, while appreciating the palpable slippages that occur in the transference of ideas from one ethnicity to another. The selected artists explore ironic, metaphoric, humorous and even cynical perspectives on the import and export of people, cultures and ideas.
The title of the exhibition refers to occurrences of social and cultural shifts between people and places, using food as a metaphor for how we digest other cultures. Throughout China, Western fast-food chains are spreading quickly (including McDonald's, KFC and Starbucks), keeping pace with the country's hunger for economic growth. Chinese food has long been a favourite takeout food. Ironically, the ubiquitous white cardboard container used in the West for takeout Chinese food is completely unknown in China, and thus, the box becomes an iconic symbol of everyday misunderstandings.
(Da bao)(Takeout) is on view at the Art Gallery of Mississauga from Nov 15, 2012 - Jan 5, 2013.
