Canadian Art (486 words)
Wieland and Markle were among the most questing and provocative artists of the Toronto art scene from the late 1950s through the 1980s.
Wieland's nudes are but part of her considerable oeuvre (the show omitted the ecologically and politically driven quilts, for instance, and the "disaster" series paintings).
Wieland gloried in being a woman and wanted to make "Housewife art, and wife art and women's art." She was a forthright feminist among a mostly male crowd and fought hard for recognition of a female artist's specific view of sexuality.
