Each illustrated art work is ac- companied by the artist's statement, which range from inten- sely poetic to anecdotal to outrageously beside the point. In sum, the book aims to help better understand contemporary Canadian art and artists through a kaleidoscope of opinions and media. Joan Murray, McLaughlin Gallery curator, and a critic in Canadian art, is author of seven books including 'The Best of the Group of Seven,' 'The Best of Tom Thomson' and 'Kurelek's Vision of Canada.' Like these books, 'The Best Contemporary Canadian Art' is a celebration of our most impor- tant art. Expanded gallery opens FROM PAGE 19 Gary Herrema as "the best salesman you ever saw." Herrema said the gallery is not only an added richness to Oshawa but also "a gateway" for Durham Region. David Silcox, deputy minister of culture and communication who is a native of Greenwood, just west of Brooklin, recalled the days when a McLaughlin Buick was the "hot- test" item around. "In those days we never thought there's be an art gallery in Oshaw," he said. The first "Art Gallery of Oshawa" began in 1967, founded by artist William Caldwell. It was later decided to go public and two years after a 6,000 sq. ft.-gallery building was donated by Ewart McLaughlin. It was later renamed Robert McLaughlin Gallery to honor the donor's grandfather. Isabel Mclaughlin, the third of five daughters of General Motors Canada founder Sam McLaughlin and wife Adelaide, was founding member of the Canadian Group of Painters and eight of her own works are in the gallery's per- manent collection as well as her donations of other art, including works by the Group of Seven. "If we gave her a little more time, she would be painting," said gallery curator Joan Murray of Whitby, alluding to McLaughlin's involvement in the building of the new gallery. The newly expanded gallery con- tains a total of 2,000 works by 420 artists. Five shows have been selected for viewing, until Jan. 3, to mark the opening. They are: Isabel McLaughlin's permanent collec- tion; her own works; Alexandra Luke of the Painters Eleven ab- stract painters group; Painters Eleven in Retrospect, a show of works by Jack Bush, Harold Town, William Ronald and Thomas Bouckley's collection of photographs of Oshawa taken bet- ween 1840 and 1960. "The structure is, indeed, in and of itself, a piece of art," said Pilkey. Gay Construction built the expanded gallery, at a cost of $5.25 million, all raised through donations and contributions. The salon won't "officially" open until January, but Stoddart already has some clientele. But she looks to January as the best time for business -it's time to start losing those inches put on at Christmas. start losing those inches put on at Christmas. The salon, which Dianne and husband David opened Nov. 24, is "pay-as-you-go" rather than of- fering memberships. The cost is $11 an hour, with a discount for studen- ts (minimum age is 18) and seniors, and various packages are offered. Clients are never left unattendea at the tables, with instructors always on hand to tell clients when to flex and when to breathe while on the mechanized tables.
