Joyce Wieland (1931-1998) is one of the most accomplished and versatile Canadian artists. She achieved a level of commercial and critical success in her lifetime that was exceptional for a woman in her era in a male-dominated field.
Wieland set new standards for what women artists could accomplish. She was the first woman artist to have a solo exhibition at the National Gallery (Ottawa) in 1971.
Many of her innovative creations predate similar works by female artists of the late 20th century - Tracey Emin's crotchet works are one of several examples.
Beginning in the 1960s, Wieland explored the role of women, the body, nationalism, and relationships through a wide variety of media. She was a prolific illustrator and created many intimate works on paper that mocked common portrayals of women throughout history.
The artist's work in this area was the subject of a major exhibition, Joyce Wieland: The Female Nude, held at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 2000.
This drawing exemplifies Wieland's delicate depictions of intimate moments.
Joyce Wieland's works can be found in numerous public collections across Canada including the National Gallery (London) and the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto) to mention a few.
