Résumé : "William Kurelek (1927-1977) is a beloved figure in Canadian art, a revered Ukrainian-Canadian
painter whose works express his deeply felt immigrant experience and his compassionate
vision of humanity. In 1975, he created a suite of 16 jewel-toned paintings titled
Jewish Life in Canada in homage to his Jewish art dealer and friend Avrom Isaacs and
as a gesture across the cultural divide. Relying on archival documents and photographs
from communities across the country, Kurelek foregrounded the role of tradition, community,
and family at the core of the Jewish experience in mid-twentieth century Canada. He
portrayed Prairie farm colonies; businesses and schools in Montreal, Toronto, and
Winnipeg; and celebrations of festivals and life cycle events at home and in the synagogue.
William Kurelek: Jewish Life in Canada includes essays by McMichael Chief Curator
Sarah Milroy considering Kurelek's articulation of the Canadian ideal of multiculturalism
and by Executive Director Ian A.C. Dejardin exploring Kurelek's distinctive framing
strategies. The book also includes pieces by David S. Koffman on Jewish life in 1970s
Canada and John Geoghegan on Kurelek's use of photographic sources, as well as an
artistic response by Ukrainian Canadian artist Natalka Husar. The volume features
more than 50 images, including reproductions of the full suite of Kurelek paintings
as well as previously unpublished archival source material, offering a complete record
of Kurelek's working process."
