Painter, b. 1918 - d. 2014

Joseph "Joe" Plaskett (12 July 1918 – 21 September 2014) was a Canadian painter. He studied with many prominent Canadian painters like A.Y. Jackson, Jack Shadbolt, Lawren Harris and Jock Macdonald. Plaskett was a pupil of Hans Hofmann in New York and Provincetown in 1947[1] and 1948.

Plaskett was born in New Westminster, British Columbia in 1918. In 1950, he arrived in Paris where he studied with Fernand Léger, and Jean Lombard, etching and engraving with Stanley William Hayter. He taught intermittently in Canada until 1957. He then settled in Paris where his studio became an informal salon for Canadian painters, writers, poets and filmmakers, interfacing with artists from other countries.

In the spring of 2001, he received the Order of Canada for his excellence in the field of visual art. He was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.

Since the 1940s, he had over 65 solo and group exhibitions, with works in major public, private and corporate collections, including the National Gallery of Canada.

Plaskett studied art in Banff, San Francisco, New York, London and Paris. He lived in Paris from 1951 until shortly before his death when he moved to Suffolk, England. His chosen subjects were always intimate expressions of everyday life – interiors, still life, and portraits of friends and models.

In 2004, he set up the Joe Plaskett Foundation which makes an annual award to a Canadian artist to enable them to travel to Europe to grow and study. Plaskett said, "I created this award in emulation of what Emily Carr did for me in 1946. I would like young Canadian artists to enjoy the privileges I experienced more than a half century ago. Europe and, above all, France, have left me richer in knowledge and experience. Although things have changed a great deal since I first travelled and studied abroad, the lesson of Europe and it's [sic] past is always waiting for those ready to learn." The Joseph Plaskett Award (often referred to as simply The Plaskett) supports an outstanding Canadian graduate student or recent (last 12 months) MFA graduate in the discipline of painting, to travel, make art, or study in Europe for one year.

During Plaskett's 90th birthday year in 2008, exhibitions were held in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, and Vancouver.

Plaskett continued to paint daily until his death on 21 September 2014 at the age of 96.

        Plaskett was born in New Westminster, BC in 1918. He initially studied history, and taught school for six years. In 1944, became interested in art. He studied at the Emily Carr College of Art & Design (now University) and the Banff School of Fine Arts where his teacher was A.Y. Jackson. In 1945, he joined the B. C. Society of Artists, and in 1946 he was awarded the first Emily Carr Scholarship for study in the U.S. by Lawren Harris and went to study at the San Francisco School of Art. From there he taught at the Winnipeg School of Art where he was made director (1947-1949). During those summers he studied in New York and once, with Hans Hoffmann in Provincetown. From 1949 to 1951 he studied with Fernand Léger. He studied at the Slade School, London (1951-1952) with a bursary awarded by the British Arts Council, and took etching and engraving with Stanley William Hayter, in Paris in 1953 with the aid of a Canadian Government Overseas Scholarship.

        Joseph Plaskett is considered to be one of Canada’s most talented and established painters. In the spring of 2001, he was awarded The Order of Canada for excellence in the field of visual art. Since the 1940’s, he has had over 65 solo and group exhibitions, with work in major public, private and corporate collections, including the National Gallery of Canada. He has exhibited with the Bau-Xi Gallery, both in Vancouver and Toronto, since 1973. Born in 1918 in New Westminster, B.C., Plaskett studied art in Banff, San Francisco, New York, London and Paris. He previously lived in Paris, then England where he passed away in 2014. Plaskett's chosen subjects have always been intimate expressions of everyday life – interiors, still life, and portraits of friends and models. There is a warm humanity to his work, a love of light and form and colour that is evident in every painting he produces. The works are composed with such superb quality of painting that the ensuing results are masterworks of visual delight.

        Joseph Plaskett is considered to be one of Canada’s most talented and established painters. In the spring of 2001, he was awarded The Order of Canada for excellence in the field of visual art. Since the 1940’s, he has had over 65 solo and group exhibitions, with work in major public, private and corporate collections, including the National Gallery of Canada. He has exhibited with the Bau-Xi Gallery, both in Vancouver and Toronto, since 1973. Born in 1918 in New Westminster, B.C., Plaskett studied art in Banff, San Francisco, New York, London and Paris. He previously lived in Paris, then England where he passed away in 2014. Plaskett's chosen subjects have always been intimate expressions of everyday life – interiors, still life, and portraits of friends and models. There is a warm humanity to his work, a love of light and form and colour that is evident in every painting he produces. The works are composed with such superb quality of painting that the ensuing results are masterworks of visual delight.
