        ALEX JANVIER, POWER STRUGGLE, 1966, oil on canvas board, 24 ins x 30 ins; 61 cms x 76.2 cms

        Est: CAD7,000 - CAD9,000

        ALEX JANVIER POWER STRUGGLE, 1966 oil on canvas board signed and inscribed "287"; also signed, titled, and dated "March 5/66" on the reverse 24 ins x 30 ins; 61 cms x 76.2 cms Provenance: Private Collection, Ottawa At the age of eight, Alex Janvier was sent to Blue Quills Indian Residential School in St. Paul, Alberta. Members of its staff recognized his artistic potential and encouraged him to pursue formal art training at the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art in Calgary (now the Alberta College of Art and Design). He was one of the first artists of Indigenous ancestry from Canada to receive professional arts training. Following graduation, he also became one of the first to be hired for a faculty position in studio art. Janvier’s early work was influenced by European Modernism; in particular, by Expressionist and Surrealist painters including Wassily Kandinsky, Joan Miró, and Paul Klee. He combined these influences with a deep affection for Dene quill and beadwork and would come to identify himself at this time as the “First Indian Modernist.” Janvier’s work of this period is characterized by heavy use of line, muted colour palette, and fractured forms. Power Struggle is a tempest of movement and pigment where several figures and objects emerge from the canvas. This, coupled with its evocative title, may reference Canada’s treatment towards Indigenous peoples and Janvier’s own experiences living on-reserve and surviving Residential School. To this end, the painting is not only signed using his surname but also with “287,” the number associated with his band treaty. This signage represents Janvier’s commitment to resisting government interference to his identity and that of all Indigenous peoples in Canada. A year after the painting’s completion, Janvier helped organize the Indians of Canada Pavilion for Expo ’67 in Montreal. In time, the composition of his paintings would loosen considerably, growing intense with colour and ebbing linework. During the 1970s, he joined the Professional Native Indian Arts Inc. (PNIAI), an Indigenous artist collective that included members Norval Morrisseau, Daphne Odjig, Carl Ray, Joseph Sanchez, Eddy Cobiness, and Jackson Beardy. The collective attempted to break cultural and political stereotypes by demanding recognition as professional artists of Indigenous descent. We thank Matthew Ryan Smith, Ph.D., Curator and Head of Collections at Glenhyrst Art Gallery in Brantford, Ontario, for contributing this essay. Estimate: $7,000–9,000

The exhibition included over 150 works from his 65 year career. The son of the last Chief of Cold Lake First Nations and a residential school survivor, Janvier was an astute observer from a young age. He feels that “Art truly is a universal language that can communicate any idea, any feeling, of anyone, regardless of their social standing, their religious beliefs or the language they speak.” Alex Janvier is regarded as one of the most important contemporary Indigenous artists in Canada.For similar works see, Janvier in the Round, pages 57 - 64 of Alex Janvier, the National Art Gallery of Canada’s exhibition publication, 2016.Estimate: $1,500—2,500

Hill with essays by Chris Dueker and Lee-Ann Martin, Alex Janvier, (catalogue), National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, 2017, page 12.1973, the year this work was painted, was also the year the idea of PNIAI (Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporated) was developed although the group would not be incorporated until 1974. Alex Janvier (b.1935) was pivotal in this initiative which would become known colloquially as "the Indian Group of Seven." Lee-Ann Martin notes that Janvier's work is "a combination of both indigenous and Western methods firmly rooted in the cultural soil of Canada and is not seen anywhere else in the world." Indeed, the visual language used by Janvier reflects his heritage with abstract designs drawn from beadwork, textiles and other indigenous sources, interpreted in liquid lines and primary colours. Alex Janvier was the subject of a major retrospective at the National Gallery of Canada from November 26, 2016 to April 17, 2017.Estimate: $2,000–3,000
