  Adieu to Two Pioneers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Wieland - painter, sculptor, quilt-maker and film-maker - was the first female artist to shake up the swaggering boys' club of the Toronto art scene in the late l950s, a joyful provocateur who drew a lyrical arc between feminism and the feminine.
Wieland died on June 27 at age 66, a victim of Alzheimer's disease.
Ahead of her time and underappreciated, Wieland was nevertheless honored with major shows at the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Ontario; in fact, she became the first living Canadian female artist to be granted a retrospective by the AGO.

 Canadian Art
Wieland and Markle were among the most questing and provocative artists of the Toronto art scene from the late 1950s through the 1980s.
Wieland's nudes are but part of her considerable oeuvre (the show omitted the ecologically and politically driven quilts, for instance, and the "disaster" series paintings).
Wieland gloried in being a woman and wanted to make "Housewife art, and wife art and women's art." She was a forthright feminist among a mostly male crowd and fought hard for recognition of a female artist's specific view of sexuality.

 TAKE ONE: Appreciation of the films of Joyce Wieland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Wieland was a major figure in the avant-garde film scene of the 1960s and '70s and, together with Michael Snow, was one of the founders of Canadian experimental cinema.
Joyce Wieland produced many of her films during the early 1960s in New York City where she had moved with her husband, Snow.
Wieland believed she was excluded from screenings and discussions and by the time she made her first feature-length experimental film, Reason Over Passion, in 1969, she "was made to feel in no uncertain terms by a few male filmmakers that I had overstepped my place, that in New York, my place was making little films."(ibid)

Joyce Wieland is best known for her filmmaking in New York in the 60s, but before arriving there from Toronto in 1963, she was already well known as a painter.
