Une voix féminine dans l'espace public : La Galerie Dominion, 1941-1956
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the role of Montreal's Dominion Gallery and its founder, Rose Millman, in promoting Canadian modern art by women artists in the mid-twentieth century. The author points out that Iris Westerberg, the wife of the gallery's co-director Max Stern, played the role of the enterprise's financial backer. The author's analysis of Stern's comments on the subject led her to determine the liberal vision held by Stern toward women artists and the place of women in the art world. Insofar as he believed in its profitability, the author claims that Stern welcomed the work of female artists just as he did the work of their male colleagues. The author notes that between 1941 and 1956, the number of individual exhibitions devoted to female artists at the Dominion Gallery was quite remarkable. Ultimately, the author argues, the continued presence of women, as both artists and managers, in a commercial gallery of this caliber contributed to a "quiet feminism" which laid the groundwork for more radical demands in the 1960s.
