EXPOSITION
Dunkelman Gallery, Toronto, Paterson Ewen Retrospective, March 1968
In 1964, Paterson Ewen’s Canada Council fellowship was based on the monochrome paintings and pastels he had exhibited at Galerie Denyse Delrue and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts the previous year. His direct exposure to the Plasticien works of his Montreal studio mates, Guido Molinari and Claude Tousignant, further induced him to refine the hard-edge technique evinced by Diagram of a Multiple Personality #7. In an interview years later, he said his technique was “Not as precise as theirs, but precise enough for me.” Ewen’s Diagram of a Multiple Personality series evolved from the monochrome paintings and presaged the Lifestream series that followed. It was at this time, following the end of his marriage to Françoise Sullivan, that he left Montreal and settled in London, Ontario. Despite the onset of bouts of depression during this period, Ewen’s innovative artmaking never flagged. Yael and Ben Dunkelman soon asked him to join their forward-looking new Toronto gallery. Following inclusion of his work in their important exhibition entitled Art Montreal ’67, this painting was included in their 1968 retrospective of the artist's work.
