On art and allegory

When talking about painting, in particular representational painting, there are many types that we can refer to. These include, but are not limited to, portraits, landscape, still life, history, narrative, genre and so forth. While these may all be somewhat dissimilar, what they have in common is that we may also encounter allegorical paintings within each type. The (Oxford) dictionary definition of allegory is that it is a “narrative or description of figurative or symbolical application” — which is vague enough to require its own explanation. (Before I continue, however, I should point out that allegory is used as an imaginative device in literature as well as art, but that’s another story.) An expanded definition with respect to visual art is that allegory is a narrative in which people and events have been given consistent symbolic meanings; it is an extended metaphor. For example, when once you encounter a white lily in a painting and understand it to represent purity (and that it is an attribute of the Virgin Mary), you can be fairly comfortable ascribing that meaning to future representations of white lilies in paintings.

Musician's alter ego returns with new record

When musician Tim Sheffield created the character of Clem Chesterfield a few years ago to sing the collection of country-tinged songs he’d written, he thought his whisky-sippin’, bullwhip-snappin’ alter ego would hit the trail after the record was finished.

The old saying, “You don’t miss the water ’til the well runs dry” certainly applies to every single thing we haven’t been able to do for well over a year.

Sunday mornings were made for relaxation

I have always treasured the relaxed tempo of a Sunday morning. As an impressionable kid, in the 1950s, a great deal of this precious time was lost in the pilgrimage to St. Clare’s Roman Catholic Church in west Toronto, where our young family (mum, dad, my three sisters and I) dutifully attended Mass each and every week.

Glorious days at the Outlet

Vintage postcards show that cars once lined the shores of Outlet Beach, where today visits must be scheduled with five-day pre-registrations. In the good old days, vehicles were parked in the sand, while their occupants swam, picnicked, or simply enjoyed the sun. Although it is unclear as to when this practice ended, the beach remained a destination with few regulations, until developed by the Ministry of Natural Resources as a provincial park in 1959.
