Biography
| |
| | | |
| |
Joe Plaskett was born in 1918 in New Westminster, B.C. He attended
Sir Richard McBride Primary School at Sapperton, then the Duke of
Connaught Secondary School at New Westminster, where he began to
copy paintings and work from nature or his imagination. He then
entered the University of British Columbia where he took an Honours
B.A. in History, graduating with first class honours in 1939. He
attended teachers' college at U.B.C., and after finishing this course
taught in B.C. schools for five years (North Shore College, N.
Vancouver, 1940-45; Coquitlam High School, B.C., 1945-45). He
attended the Vancouver School of Art between 1940 and 1942 where
he studied at the Banff Summer School in 1944 with A.Y. Jackson. The
following year he became a member of the B.C. Society of Artists (won
a bronze medal for work in pastel from this society in 1944). In 1946 he
was awarded an Emily Carr Scholarship which enabled him to study
art at the California School of Fine Art, San Francisco under William
Gaw, David Park, Clay Spohn, and Clyfford Still. He became principal of
the Winnipeg School of Art in 1947 and resigned in 1949 to have more
time to paint. He then left for Paris where he studied with Fernand
Léger, Jean Lombard, and Marzelle. The following summer he toured
the British Isles, Holland, Belgium, and Germany and returned to Venice
and back to Paris. In 1951 he moved to London, England to study at the
Slade School with a bursary awarded by the British Arts Council. At
the end of 1951 he returned to New Westminster and exhibited his
works at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the British Columbia Art
Gallery. He taught nights at the Vancouver School of Art in 1952-53. He
returned to Paris in 1953 with the assistance of a Canadian
Government Overseas Scholarship to study etching and engraving
with Stanley Hayter. He returned to Canada in 1956 and took a teaching
post with the Extension Department of the University of B.C. In 1956 he
also taught at the Vancouver School of Art and at Emma Lake in
Saskatchewan. He returned to Paris in 1957 to become a full-time
painter free from any teaching duties. In 1967 he was awarded a
Canada Council fellowship to paint places across Canada. When he
returned to Paris in 1971 an exhibition entitled "Joe Plaskett and his
Paris - In Search of Time Past" was organized and shown at the Fine
Arts Gallery of the University of B.C., and was then circulated across
Canada through the auspices of the Extension Services of the National
Gallery of Canada.
