Bert Weir – CCCA Canadian Art Database

Bert Weir

Upon being discharged from the Canadian Navy in 1945 Bert Weir worked in the bush in a lumber camp in Algonquin Park before attending the Ontario College of Art, on a Department of Veteran’s Affairs program majoring in sculpture. His instructors included Emanuel Hahn and Jock Macdonald. In 1952 the couple moved to McKellar, Ontario where they set up the McKellar Lodge Summer Studio. The Studio was run as an art school where artists from Toronto and New York, such as Gershon Iskowitz and Bob Cowan, taught while producing their own studio work. Weir set out to learn everything he could about the Northern Ontario wilderness in a quest to understand the force that drew him so powerfully to that place. Working directly from the source, whether snowshoeing through a snowstorm, sailing Georgian Bay or in the studio with a model, his aim was to feel the essence of that energy he found so important and to describe that experience as colour and form.
