About the Item
Joyce Wieland (1931-1998) was one of the most accomplished and versatile Canadian artists of the 20th century. Emerging on the Toronto art scene in the early 1960s, throughout her career Wieland would explore the role of women, the body, nationalism, and intimacy using a variety of mediums.
During much of the 1970s, Wieland was consumed by the creation (and recovery) of making her single feature film "The Far Shore". Her all-encompassing approach included writing the script, directing, co-producing, and trying to finance the project, a task that she notoriously despised.
The film was loosely inspired by the life and death of the Canadian painter, Tom Thompson. However it follows a female protagonist, Eulalie de Chicoutimi, as the two engage in a passionate affair. Contrary to mainstream film, which tends to be filtered through the male gaze, “The Far Shore” is rooted in the deep emotions of Chicoutimi’s experience, capturing her vulnerability through melodramatic cinematography. Despite the lackluster reception at the time of its premiere, “The Far Shore” has been hailed as an important feminist film in recent years.
This poster was created by Weiland to promote “The Far Shore” and is exemplary of her unwavering dedication to its production. Chicoutimi is centered at the top of the poster, her head tilted downward as her eyes fixate on the viewer. The intensity of her gaze is contrasted by a soft pastel palette, signifying the inherent strength of her femininity. Three stills from the film are placed underneath her portrait in a way that reinforces Chicoutimi’s role as the film’s heroine.
Joyce Wieland's work can be found in numerous public collections across Canada including the National Gallery, Museum London, and the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto) to mention a few.

Joyce Wieland "Marie Antoinette"
By Joyce Wieland
Located in Toronto, Ontario
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 during an era in a male-dominated field.
Notably, she was the first female artist to have a solo exhibition at the National Gallery (Ottawa) in 1971 and the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto) in 1987.
Although Wieland was an artist who was always drawing, she launched her career as a painter. Always experimenting, her art practice expanded to incorporate a range of media and materials, from textile works to film. In New York City, she was best known as an experimental filmmaker.
In the mid 1960s Wieland began to embrace more representational and narrative elements in her work. Inspired by comic books, and her background in film as an animator, Wieland embraced figuration albeit clearly influenced by Pop Art.
One of the reoccurring motifs in Wieland's oeuvre is playing with and subverting icons of femininity. In this work Wieland presents icons inspired by the French Queen Marie-Antoinette: a jewelry or hat box, a hairbrush, a medallion. The artist seems to be willing to give a make-over to the Queen. In the "nice medallion painting...
