Sturm und Drang: publisher Tim Inkster reflects on the challenges of publishing P.K. Page

Tim Inkster's professional relationship with P.K. Page began in the spring of 1985 when Constance Rooke commissioned a broadside of P.K.'s poem ‘Deaf-Mute in a Pear Tree’ as a promotion for The Malahat Review. An anecdotal history of their many collaborations over the next two decades serves to highlight the gulf of misunderstanding that continues to bedevil the aspirations of scholarship as well as the increasingly threatened copyrights of commercial book publishers. Duncan Major contributes a letterpress keepsake and reflects on his role as the printer's devil at Tara Bryan's walking bird press of Flatrock, Newfoundland. Richard Kegler presents Fairbank Italic which was issued by Monotype in 1929 as ‘Bembo Condensed Italic’ though it was never intended to be anything of the sort.

Kevin Heslop interviews Karen Schindler of Baseline Press (London, ON) who shares her thoughts on publishing, poetry and the economics of reciprocity. Bibliophile Chester Gryski presents a history of John Robert Colombo's Hawkshead Press.

Typographer Richard Kegler presents Bixler Roman, a book face based on the roman letterforms developed by Venetian printers of the fifteenth century which are often characterized by a subtle variance from the strictures of geometry. And, finally, Don McLeod introduces wood engraver Alan Stein of Parry Sound.

Bonne Zabolotney and Joel Derksen collaborate on a featured retrospective on the career of Andrew King (1885–1981), whose King Show Print (Estevan, SK) specialized in the production of very large-format, multi-colour posters designed to promote spectacles such as the Barnum & Bailey Circus that toured north into the Canadian prairies on the Soo Line from Chicago.

When Carl Beam's large-format photo-serigraph entitled North American Iceberg was purchased by the National Gallery of Canada in 1986 it marked the first acquisition of contemporary art for the national collection by an artist of First Nations heritage. A prescient early step, perhaps, towards the reconciliation that now consumes any evaluation of Canadian social justice in the wake of the disaster that was inflicted on the native population by the residential school system. Carl Beam was just one of countless innocent victims of the residential schools, but the power of his witness to the horror has been manifest in the Columbus Suite, which he created in 1990 as a counterpoint to the festivities attached to the five-hundredth anniversary of the arrival of Christopher Columbus to North America, or Turtle Island as it is known to the indigenous population.

DA 84 considers Carl Beam's Columbus Suite, with contributions from Carl Beam's daughter, Anong Migwans Beam, as well as Tom Smart, who currently serves as executive director of the Beaverbrook Art Gallery.

Leslie (Sam) Smart is a perfect exemplar of the practice of design and design education in postwar Canada. For starters, he’s from somewhere else. He was also a generalist, who worked the technical end of the type composition industry at Mono Lino Typesetting, taught night school at Ryerson College (now University) and had his own creative career as primarily a book designer. As Brian Donnelly, guest editor of this issue of the Devil’s Artisan, has written elsewhere, Smart’s approach reflects ‘the typical Canadian ambivalence to any specific design doctrines or movements’, and ‘exemplifies the practical application of traditional knowledge in classically modern ways.’ Smart was a keen student of history and thus, like design education in Canada generally, exemplifies the dominant if not always successful practice of studio instructors stepping in to teach studies courses or to write and lecture on design history.

DA 83 features the work of Brian Donnelly, Lauren Holden, Simone Robert and Camilla Dinardo, whose contributions examine Smart’s role in transforming the landscape of Canadian graphic design, not only through his own design aesthetic but also through his engagement in design journalism.

Also in this issue, Grant Hurley investigates the career of master printmaker Robert Van de Peer of the Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre in St Andrews, New Brunswick.

In DA 82 curator Tom Smart examines the 'playing witness' symbol in James Reaney's poetry, drama and visual art. Smart argues that Reaney's work offers paths which transcend the banal and pass over to a world of heightened perception in which the power of play facilitates the embrace of life's condition of disorderly continuity, absurdity and unpredictability, renders it bearable and endows it with a quality of grace.

Also in this issue, Stephen Sword contributes a short history of the cylinder press housed at Black Creek Pioneer Village, along with a chronicle of his experience learning to operate and maintain the press. Chelsea Jeffery provides 'Notes on Early Printing in the Yukon', including a few tidbits of history from the Whitehorse Star.

DA 80 features `An Alice of a Different Order: Tyler Bright Hilton’s Suite of Twenty Etchings' in Tom Smart unfolds the "imagistic ecosystem" surrounding the work of emerging Toronto printmaker Tyler Bright Hilton. He specifically studies Hilton's suite of intaglio prints entitled Minmei Madelynne Pryor Went into the Dryer, a "grotesque re-write of Alice in Wonderland" and "a coming-of-age story" about "finding the spectacular in the mundane". Smart details the unusual artistic influences absorbed into Hilton’s work—most notably a late-fourteenth-century Florentine artist whose dogmatic voice compelled Hilton to sharpen his stylus and train his eye—resulting in a unique and idiosyncratic artistic world that challenges engaged viewers to participate in the story's unfolding.

Chester Gryski contributes personal annotations for Andrew Steeves's book, Glen Goluska in Toronto, attempting to `fill in the blanks' of Goluska's career with his own memories and reminiscences on the printer and his work.

Also included in this issue is Shane Neilson interview of Lisa Johnson, administrator of the JackPine Press Editorial Collective.

DA 79 (Fall 2016) considers a number of topics on the subject of printing, typography and design.

Jaleen Grove contributes `Oscar Cahén's Vulgar Modernism', whose outlandish, avant-garde designs sought to stimulate the senses and provoke both aversion and fascination. His illustrations in the 1940s and 50s revitalized the business of illustration in Canada, and his work was instrumental in establishing a new national identity as well as a distinct, modernist and artistically diverse mass media.

Patrick Griffin reports on `An Informal Chat with Rod McDonald', in which the two discuss the development and release of McDonald's new font family, Classic Grotesque.

In `Barbarian Press and the Making of The Play of Pericles Prince of Tyre', John Shoesmith delves into the Barbarian Press archives at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library in Toronto to investigate the process of creating `the crown jewel of Barbarian’s almost forty-year bookmaking history.'

The cover image is after an engraving of a Josiah Wade Arab Platen Press that appeared in The British Printer, Vol. 4, 1891. The keepsake was printed letterpress at Trip Print Press and illustrates the four principal types of platen mechanisms.

DA 78 (Spring 2016) features curator Tom Smart’s ‘Heading to Palookaville’, which considers the complexities of self-identity in the ‘holistic’ artistic practice of Gregory Gallant AKA Seth, who is at once an artist, author and cultural commentator, as well as one of the foremost graphic novelists working today. Smart contends that Seth can also be characterized as a sophisticated performance artist who faces his darkest moments in the guise of a cartoonist and illustrator. Just as the world Seth inhabits echoes the past, so the world he describes in his art resonates with the same voice. Every line, every detail is set down deliberately and with the intention of crafting an artistic reality that is true to what he sees as a period in Canada that existed a generation before he was born.

The issue also includes ‘The Story of Thee Hellbox Press’, which originated as a conversation with Hugh Barclay and Faye Batchelor on the origins and anecdotes of the Kingston, Ontario-based private press.

Since 1982 he has exhibited his art in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Canada and internationally. He has received several prestigious awards for his work, and his prints can be found in public and private collections the world over. In this article, Tom Smart demonstrates the development of Steeves’ complex personal iconography and visual alphabet.
