Joyce Wieland
JOYCE WIELAND "LEARNING BALANCE" 1981
Joyce Wieland (1931-1998) was one of the most accomplished and versatile Canadian artists of the 20th century. Emerging on the Toronto art scene at the beginning of the 1960s, over the course of her career Wieland explored the role of women, the body, nationalism, and intimacy using a variety of mediums.
As well as drawing and painting, the artist utilized untraditional materials such as quilts and lipstick. Traditionally seen as feminine and craft-like, Wieland renegotiated the ‘low art’ or inherently misogynistic labels of these materials, engaging with feminist dialogue in subject matter and medium.
Beginning in the 1960s, Wieland explored the role of women, the body, nationalism, and relationships through a wide variety of media. She was a prolific illustrator and created many intimate works on paper that mocked common portrayals of women throughout history.
The artist's work in this area was the subject of a major exhibition, Joyce Wieland: The Female Nude, held at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 2000.
Wieland established new benchmarks for what was possible for a female artist to achieve. Notably, she was the first female artist to have a solo exhibition at the National Gallery (Ottawa) in 1971.
Wieland's works can be found in numerous public collections across Canada including the National Gallery, Museum London and the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto).
