Winnipeg 1937\n\nThorlaksson studied and graduated in Fine Arts from San Jose State University California and taught ceramics in  B.C. \nthrough the 70s. \nThorlaksson  was  influenced by the Chinese ceramic forms and glazes of the Sung, Yuan and Ming  dynasties. During the 1960's, when he was studying, he found he was not entirely in line with the prevailing attitudes.  In  an  interview in 1977 he said, \n\n<blockquote>\"My style was not very well received. The  trends  then  were  ceramics  that  had  a  total  earthy functional quality, or to those which gave social comment. There was a general resentment towards elegance and other characteristics associated with the Imperial Chinese periods.\"<\/blockquote>\n\nFor every pot Gordon Thorlaksson made, he made an accompanying ceramic base in the Chinese tradition.  \n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center; background: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/canadian-pottery\/gordon-thorlaksson-bowl-82\/\">Gordon Thorlaksson bowl<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img category1160\" ><div class=\"wpape-img-image  wpape-lightbox\"  ><div data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Ernst-Alma-Lorenzen-vase-74-292x300.jpg\" title=\"Canadian Pottery - Ernst & Alma Lorenzen vase ht. 7-1\/2\u2033 - Nova Scotia - coll.#74\" data-width=\"292\" data-height=\"300\" ><\/div><div data-popup=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Ernst-Alma-Lorenzen-vase-74.jpg\"  title=\"Canadian Pottery - Ernst & Alma Lorenzen vase ht. 7-1\/2\u2033 - Nova Scotia - coll.#74\"><\/div><div class=\"thumbnail-overlay\"><div class=\"wpapeIcons\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus wpapeZoomIcon \" ><\/i><\/div><div class=\"wpapeDesc \">Canadian Pottery - Ernst & Alma Lorenzen vase, ht. 7-1\/2\u2033 - Lantz, Nova Scotia coll.#74<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center; background: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/canadian-pottery\/ernst-alma-lorenzen-vase-74\/\">Ernst & Alma Lorenzen vase<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img category1160\" ><div class=\"wpape-img-image  wpape-lightbox\"  ><div data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Ernst-Alma-Lorenzen-lava-glaze-bowl-78-300x262.jpg\" title=\"Canadian Pottery - Ernst & Alma Lorenzen lava glaze bowl - Nova Scotia - coll.#78\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"262\" ><\/div><div data-popup=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Ernst-Alma-Lorenzen-lava-glaze-bowl-78.jpg\"  title=\"Canadian Pottery - Ernst & Alma Lorenzen lava glaze bowl - Nova Scotia - coll.#78\"><\/div><div class=\"thumbnail-overlay\"><div class=\"wpapeIcons\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus wpapeZoomIcon \" ><\/i><\/div><div class=\"wpapeDesc \">Canadian Pottery - Ernst & Alma Lorenzen lava glaze bowl, dia. 6\u2033 - Lantz, Nova Scotia coll.#78<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center; background: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/canadian-pottery\/ernst-alma-lorenzen-lava-glaze-bowl-78\/\">Ernst & Alma Lorenzen lava bowl<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img category1160\" ><div class=\"wpape-img-image  wpape-lightbox\"  ><div data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Julie-Gellner-vase-87-298x300.jpg\" title=\"Canadian Pottery - Julie Gellner stoneware vase, ht. 12-1\/2\u2033 - British Columbia - coll.#87\" data-width=\"298\" data-height=\"300\" ><\/div><div data-popup=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Julie-Gellner-vase-87.jpg\"  title=\"Canadian Pottery - Julie Gellner stoneware vase, ht. 12-1\/2\u2033 - British Columbia - coll.#87\"><\/div><div class=\"thumbnail-overlay\"><div class=\"wpapeIcons\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus wpapeZoomIcon \" ><\/i><\/div><div class=\"wpapeDesc \">Canadian Pottery - Julie Gellner stoneware vase, ht. 12-1\/2\u2033 coll.#87\n\nGellner, Julie\nb New York  \nBCFA85  BCFA86\nTerrace  \nBCP86<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center; background: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/canadian-pottery\/julie-gellner-vase-87\/\">Julie Gellner vase<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img category1160\" ><div class=\"wpape-img-image  wpape-lightbox\"  ><div data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/David-Taylor-vase-85-263x300.jpg\" title=\"Canadian Pottery \u2013 David Taylor vase, ht. 11\u2033 \u2013 Nova Scotia \u2013 coll.#85\" data-width=\"263\" data-height=\"300\" ><\/div><div data-popup=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/David-Taylor-vase-85.jpg\"  title=\"Canadian Pottery \u2013 David Taylor vase, ht. 11\u2033 \u2013 Nova Scotia \u2013 coll.#85\"><\/div><div class=\"thumbnail-overlay\"><div class=\"wpapeIcons\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus wpapeZoomIcon \" ><\/i><\/div><div class=\"wpapeDesc \">Canadian Pottery \u2013 David Taylor (1944-2011).\nStoneware vase, ht. 11\u2033 \u2013 Nova Scotia - coll.#85\n\nDavid Taylor b. 1944, Middleton, Nova Scotia. \n\nTaylor studied painting and sculpture at the N.S.

After teaching, he focused full time on his creative practice in his studio in Falkland, B.C. \nEpp exhibited in numerous solo exhibitions in public and private galleries, including the Vernon Art Gallery, the Kamloops Art Gallery, Kelowna Art Gallery, the House of Ceramics, and the Bau-Xi Gallery. He also participated in numerous group exhibitions in Vancouver and Seattle. He created sculpture for the Federal Manpower Building in Victoria, B.C., as well as Fishermen's Credit Union Building in Vancouver. <\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center;

He taught at U.B.C. and at Banff. He won numerous ceramic awards including the Canadian Ceramic award in 1957, Best Canadian Sculptor in 1963 and a silver medal at the 1963 International Ceramic Show in Prague, Czechoslovakia. He worked and died in his home in Burnaby where his wife Ikuko and daughter Hitsue still live. \nA very beautiful memorial service was held at Forest lawn little Chapel of the Flowers in Burnaby. \nThe following is taken from the eulogy given by Doreen Lawson, Burnaby Alderman. \n\n\n<blockquote>We are here today to honour the memory of Mr. Tommy Kakinuma who was a potter and artist, husband, father and a friend, and not necessarily in that order. He was a quiet, sensitive man who had an appreciation of the beauty and serenity of nature. His artistic talent expressed this through his work in his sculptures, his garden and his home. He was also strong minded and determined. He valued his privacy and refused to give it up, even when his illness took him to the hospital. Mr. Kakinuma hated hospital life--the noise, the lack of privacy and the interruptions, and he wanted so much to go home. It is a credit to his wife, Ikuko, and his daughter, Mitsue, that he was able to spend his last few weeks in \nthe home he loved so much. It's no wonder he held his wife in such high esteem and was so proud of his daughter. Mr. Kakinuma had a personal integrity and quiet dignity and he earned respect both in his private and professional life. He was a potter who worked with clay which is a very humble medium and fashioned it into an object of great beauty. His love \nof life was expressed through the quality and excellence of his work. The only complaint I ever heard from shop owners who sold his sculptures was that they could not get enough Tommy Kakinuma pieces to meet the demand. His sculptures give qreat joy to everyone who has them and each piece has a character of its own. Mr. Tommy Kakinuma brought honour to our country and to his community of Burnaby with his work. He leaves a legacy behind --the memory of a warm and caring man remains in his sculptures which are a celebration of life and love. He gave of himself to us all and, especially, to his family. He will be sadly missed. <\/blockquote>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center; background: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/canadian-pottery\/tommy-kakinuma-owl-98\/\">Tommy Kakinuma owl<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img category1160\" ><div class=\"wpape-img-image  wpape-lightbox\"  ><div data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Tommy-Kakinuma-Penguin-100-284x300.jpg\" title=\"Canadian Pottery \u2013 Tommy Kakinuma 7\u2033 Penguin \u2013 British Columbia coll.#100\" data-width=\"284\" data-height=\"300\" ><\/div><div data-popup=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Tommy-Kakinuma-Penguin-100.jpg\"  title=\"Canadian Pottery \u2013 Tommy Kakinuma 7\u2033 Penguin \u2013 British Columbia coll.#100\"><\/div><div class=\"thumbnail-overlay\"><div class=\"wpapeIcons\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus wpapeZoomIcon \" ><\/i><\/div><div class=\"wpapeDesc \">Canadian Pottery \u2013 Tommy Kakinuma 7\u2033 Penguin \u2013 Vancouver British Columbia coll.#100<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center;

She was also instrumental in starting summer schools to assist talented potters, and for thirteen years taught a course in ceramics at the University of British Columbia, Dept. of Extension, Fine Arts Division, where she helped artists submit their work to international competitions and exhibitions. \nMrs. Davis was concerned with educating the public through craft demonstrations and working with the Community Arts Council, succeeded in establishing the first craft outlet in Vancouver.\nCollaborating with Luke Lindoe, she was involved in the founding Plainsman Clays, a supply firm that gave B.C. craftsmen a reliable and consistent source of potting clays.\n\nHer <a href=\"http:\/\/rbscarchives.library.ubc.ca\/uploads\/r\/university-of-british-columbia-library-rare-books-and-special-collections\/6\/8\/68502\/Davis_Olea.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">papers<\/a> are stored at the University of British Columbia library, special collections. \n<blockquote>Olea Davis, a founding member and the first president of the Potters Guild of B.C., died in April 1977. \nDuring her many years in B.C. she worked to promote the arts, her particular interest being sculpture and pottery. A few \nmonths before her death she was made an honorary member of the International Academy of Ceramics in Zurich, Switzerland. Olea had shown her pottery in many exhibitions in Europe as well as in North America. A brief biography of Olea Davis was printed in the Western Potter, issue '35. <\/blockquote>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center; background: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/canadian-pottery\/olea-davis-vase-116\/\">Olea Davis vase<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img category1160\" ><div class=\"wpape-img-image  wpape-lightbox\"  ><div data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Teabowl-Unknown-potters-mark-115-300x295.jpg\" title=\"Canadian Pottery Tea bowl ht. 4\u2033,  Unknown potters mark, coll.#115\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"295\" ><\/div><div data-popup=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Teabowl-Unknown-potters-mark-115.jpg\"  title=\"Canadian Pottery Tea bowl ht. 4\u2033,  Unknown potters mark, coll.#115\"><\/div><div class=\"thumbnail-overlay\"><div class=\"wpapeIcons\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus wpapeZoomIcon \" ><\/i><\/div><div class=\"wpapeDesc \">Canadian Pottery - Tea bowl ht. 4\u2033 - (Chop Unread) coll.#115<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center; background: rgb(255, 255, 255);\" ><a href=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/index.php\/canadian-pottery\/teabowl-unknown-potters-mark-115\/\">Teabowl (Chop Unread)<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img category1160\" ><div class=\"wpape-img-image  wpape-lightbox\"  ><div data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Wayne-Ngan-Platter-118-300x297.jpg\" title=\"Wayne Ngan 13\u2033 sq. platter on four feet - British Columbia potter coll.#118\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"297\" ><\/div><div data-popup=\"https:\/\/artshuttle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Wayne-Ngan-Platter-118.jpg\"  title=\"Wayne Ngan 13\u2033 sq. platter on four feet - British Columbia potter coll.#118\"><\/div><div class=\"thumbnail-overlay\"><div class=\"wpapeIcons\"><i class=\"fa fa-plus wpapeZoomIcon \" ><\/i><\/div><div class=\"wpapeDesc \">Wayne Ngan stoneware footed platter, 13\u2033 sq.

Lerner, Mary F. Williamson\nAYRE, Robert. Introducing Valentin Shabaeff. Canadian art vol 5 #2 (christmas 1947) pp.80-83 illus. english.\n\nValentin Shabaeff, an artist born and educated in Russia, maintains his studio in Montreal. Once a painter and a Sculptor, he now works in ceramics, producing reliefs, murals, and sculptures. Shabaeff deplores the amateurism he finds among canadians working in Ceramics, insisting that progress only comes when one makes ceramics one's profession, and is prepared to undergo a rigorous apprenticeship.\n\n*************************************\nUniversity of British Columbia, Fine Arts Library\nMusee des beaux-arts du Canada, Bibliotheque et Archives \/ Musee canadien de la photographie contemporaine\nMusee des beaux-arts de l'Ontario, Bibliotheque de recherche et archives Edward P. Taylor\nMusee des beaux-arts de Montreal, Bibliotheque\n\nBorn of a peasant family living on the Volga Plateau of Russia. As a child he loved drawing at the village school. He began formal training at the age of 12. He studied painting, design, sculpture and ceramics for 9 years at the Moscow Art Academy, and Byzantine murals at Kazan, also at the Imperial Academy of Art at St Petersburg (Petrograd, 1914; later named Leningrad). His teachers were Prince Paul Troubetzkoi, Baron Klodt (for ceramics) and Prof. Feishin. He joined the Russian army during WWI, was wounded, taken prisoner, and spent several years along with 75,000 other Russians in a camp where more than a hundred prisoners starved to death daily. He returned to Russia on a prisoner exchange in 1918 and taught art and was employed in the assessment of works of art for the Customs Department in Moscow. In 1925 he left Russia due to the decline of activity in fine arts following the revolution. He travelled to China where he did bronze and stone sculptures for His Majesty's Hotel and Chinese Customs House at Shanghai (1925-1928); moved on to Indochina and then to Japan. He arrived in United States in 1928 and worked in Hollywood on a design for Cecil B. de Mille's movie King of Kings. He came to Canada in 1930 and settled in Montreal where he completed commissions for the Chapel of Christ Church Cathedral (ceramic triptych of Madonna and Child with Seraphim); ten stone reliefs for the CNR Central Station; murals for Henry Birks and Sons in Quebec City; murals for Samovar Montreal night club and other commissions. In 1945 Dr. Max Stern of the Dominion Gallery was the first Montreal art dealer to give Shabaeff a solo show of ceramic plaques, reliefs and jewellery. The entire exhibition was sold out to collectors. The brooches included heads of women and horses, birds, fish (all with simplicity of line and subtle colour). In his first visit to Toronto in 1939 he met Grace Dempster. She wanted to be an artist but had trained as a teacher to please her family. He hired her as an apprentice and they were later married. Ten years after that first visit to Toronto he held his first solo show at The Fine Art Galleries of Eaton's College Street Store. Viewing his work Rose MacDonald of the Toronto Evening Telegram noted, \"Shabaeff's ceramics come as a magnificent surprise. They glow with color, color of fine glazes, a vibrant turquoise most often, enriched by applications of gold and of platinum which take on new values of lustre as the result of the three successive careful firings . . . Shabaeff's art is in the great apostolic succession of Byzantine art a tradition of which the Russian Greek Orthodox Church was the direct inheritor.\" In his second show at Eaton's, Pearl McCarthy of the Globe & Mail noted one of his works as follows, \"Shabaeff has turned out a breathtaking masterpiece. It is a huge wall plaque 58 inches x 46 inches, in modelled, fired clay with colored glazes and pure gold and platinum, on the subject of the Rape of Europa. It centres the exhibit of work by this man of great talent which will go on view Tuesday in the fine art galleries of Eaton's College Street.\" He did a 16-ft. ceramic Our Lady of Light for the Loretto College, Toronto. In the years that followed he lived and worked in Wellington, ON; Granby, QC; Napanee ON; Brockville, ON; Cornwall, ON; Smiths Falls, ON; Ottawa, ON; and Vancouver, BC. He completed 25 reliefs, murals and bronze sculptures for Hotel Vancouver. In 1962 he stopped making ceramics but continued with sculpture, painting (water colours, oils, pastels), drawings, and etchings. Shabaeff used the finest of materials, paints and frames for his work. The last public account of Shabaeff appeared in a 1974 article in The Montreal Star by Henry Lehrnann when Shabaeff was 83 years old. Valentin and his wife Grace had one daughter, Agnia (b. c.1950). Since no public notice of his death has been found, it is not clear when or where he died.\u201d [MacDonald, \u201cA Dictionary of Canadian Artists\u201d]\n\nProvenance: Dominion Gallery, Montreal. \n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpape-img-content\"  style=\"text-align:center;
