WHITBY FREE PRESS. WEDNESDAY. JUNE 6, 1979, PAGE 9 Women artists are largely forgotten says gallery. director Joi Women artissof Canada were the subject of an ad- dress by Joan Murray, direc- tor of the Robert McLaughlin Art Gallery in Oshawa, at the annual Ontario Ladies' College May Court Festival May 26. Mrs. Murray, a resident of Whitby, said it is unjust that Canada's women artists, with the exception of Emnily Carr, are forgotten today. One forgotten artist Mrs. Murray spoke of, was Florence McGillivray, w'-.o was born in Whitby and was a teacher al '.e Ontario Ladis (-, luge. MrS. Murray said that a painting' of gondolas in Venice, dating from about 1913 or 1914 is probably her, most important work; This painting hangs in the com- mon roomn at the college. Mrs* Murray- said that Florence McGillivray was a friend of the famnous artlst Tom Thomson, and probably influenced his style. "Books wiIl be written about her in time," she said. Another forgotten Cana- dian womnen artist is Helen McNichol, who was an im- pressionist whose subjects were women, 'said Mrs. Murray. Helen McNichol, wis the first Canadian artist to be a member of the Society of British Artists, she said.. Mrs. Murray explained that this artist's family loved her work so much that they kept it, and it did not appear on the market until about 10 years ago when she diêîd. "That's one reason why womnen artists are- unknown today,". said Mrs. Murray, Mrs. Murray spoke of two members of Painters Eleven, which got its start in the YMCA in Oshawa in 1952. One was Hortense Gordon, a Hamiltonartist who started as a potter and ceramacist in decorative art. She later painted towns and then turned to abstraction. Couneil approves 4mway stop sign The Whitby Council at its regular meeting passed the by-law to provide for the Installation of a- four-way control stop sign at the inter- section of Walnut and Centre Streets. This by-law amnends a pre- vious- by-law which stipu- lates that Walnut and Centre street intersection as a two way control stop sign inter- section which it is at present, A group of the Walnut- Centre street residents were present at the Council meet- ing when they learned that the by-law to provide for the four-way stop intersection was on the agenda. They expressed pleasure that some action was being taken for the safety and protection of the children in the area. But the problemn is not completely solved until the signs are erected.- To ereet the signs at the Walnut-Centre street inter- section the Town Council must have the àpproval of the Regional Council to alter the traffic pattern of the streets. The traffic pattern would be altered by the slowing down of the traffic at the four-way stop controlled intersection. an Murray' Another member was Alexandra Luke, whose hus- band founded the Robert Mcbaughlin Gallery. Painters Eleven was the main abstract painting group in Ontario and the first one, said Mrs. Murray. Mrs. Murray showed slides 'of works by thëse artists as well as a num ber of contemporary artists such as Joyce Weyland who makes quits, Evelyn Roth who crochets video tape into garments, Janet Hendershot who was influenced by Emily Carr, and Mary Pratt who specializes in kitchen art.' Mrs. Murray told the staff and students of the college that the role* of women is changing and they are get- ting more recognition today, while artists like Florence McGillivray are largýely for- gotten.
