the HERALD Wednesday February 5 Arts Ideas Visual memories must be retold By JOHN Herald I went to two nearby communi galleries recently the Burl ington Cultural Centre and the Art Gallery of Hamilton

Acton paints a scene on a palette in Cedarvale Cottage where many artists gather Tuesday afternoons to create and paint The artists are members of the Palette and Pencil club and theyre creating new

Circulation Department is open Monday to Friday WELL DELIVER TO YOUR HOME Ideas and The Arts by John Sommer always impressed anew about how well this building is sited on a very irregular property Inside his edifice with its many windows serving also as display cases its large and small galleries its studios for a great variety of artistic activities its fabulous greenhouse so ing on a cold winter dayj and a large art rental and gift shop is the most user friendly communi centre I have come across anywhere The main exhibition right now to February 16 has the title Masters of the Crafts It was organized and later circulated by the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa 1989 to inaugurate the museums Fine Crafts Gallery The exhibition focuses on the award recipients of the Saidye Bronfman Award for Excellence in the Crafts from 1977 to These selected artisans represent the very peak of the many ex craftspeople working in Canada right now and their ex works in Burlington are spectacular throughout From Micheline s glamorous tapestries to Lois Bettendge finely wrought silver objects to William Hazzard life like wildlife carvings to Wayne cerebral ceramics and Michael Wilcox s a kind bookbindings the exhibition con tains masterpieces only Other artisans represented are Cliche Spenard Doucet Robin Hopper Bill Reid and Joanna One walks out of the exhibition with the certainty that while our time might not be the best of all times for painting sculpture and architecture it does produce lux ury objects on a par with the greatest work of this kind from other times and cultures The Burlington Cultural Centre was given the mandate by the people who started it to collect contemporary ceramics A small part of this in the meantime substantial collection is given exhibition space in the showcases of the hallways and in between the dense foreign foliage of shrubs and trees in the delightful greenhouse Looking at these often quite large and complicated museum pieces the viewer realizes that ceramics is a lot more than cups and plates It is in fact anything the artist wants it to be Do go to Burlington and see for yourself The Art Gallery of Hamilton also works well as a building The interior spaces are lofty and large loggia like openings bet ween the different exhibition levels make it possible to look al art works from vantage points not usually available The main feature at the Hamilton Gallery for another month to March is a large Retrospective of paintings by Ronald Bloore For more than years Bloore has played a vital role in Canada as a curator educator painter and graphic artist He was director of the Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery Regina from 1958 to From on he has been a pro fessor in the Fine Arts Depart of York University in Toronto had a classical tion in the humanities in addition to studies in the visual arts and a degree in archaeology His pain tings are the result of his studies They are Apollonian With few exemptions his palette is restricted to white and black his imagery is non figurative But within these severe self imposed boundaries he ranges far and wide through human history and experience He is one of the greats of inter national abstractionism and yet his large pale canvasses are as Canadian as anything by the Group of Seven Inspired and feeling akin to the reductivist credo of the Construe movement of years ago he has expanded the Construe tivist pictorial language to the point where the viewer is remind ed of walls drenched with sunlight of the translucency of the night sky of wind patterns in the snow of decorative fragments unearthed by ar chaeologists The possible associations are endless Ronald will give a talk at the Art Galtecy of Hamilton on Thursday Feb at 7 p The Art Gallery of Hamilton is located on 123 King St West and the Burlington Cultural Centre is located on Brock Avenue Take your heart to court Oroutforawalk vigorous physical activity can help keep your
