Joan and Goodrige: My Life with Goodridge Roberts
|
| Abstract |
The author first met Goodridge Roberts (1904-1974) in the early 1950s at a time when Roberts was earning recognition as an important Canadian artist. In this memoir Joan Roberts describes how they came together and the realities of her life as wife and partner to a man committed to his art, while she practiced her own career as a social worker - at the time a fledgling profession. She describes their life in the intellectual circles of Montreal in the forties and fifties among friends who were artists, journalists, writers, social workers and academics. She discusses her husband's long and difficult struggle with depression at a time when such things were not openly acknowledged. The author also provides insights and reflections on the long-term relationship between Goodridge Roberts and Montreal's Dominion Gallery, and its tumultuous rupture.
