Within 72 hours the gallery was under attack both for its selection of Voice of Fire and for the price tag attached to it. Objections came from across Canada and from all quarters.The Voice of Fire controversy was the most extensive and heated debate over visual art ever to have taken place in Canada. This anthology can be seen as a case-study, providing both a historical account of the outcome of the National Gallery's purchase of the painting and an understanding of why the gallery's actions provoked such strong opinions and feelings. In this volume the editors also address the peculiar and paradoxical character of abstract art in general and the problems it consistently poses for viewers. Newman's work is presented as the focus of these concerns.The attack on the gallery by the press, the general public, Canadian artists, and politicians is documented in the first section by a broad selection of cartoons satirizing the painting, press photographs, news releases, editorials, letters to the editor, and public exchanges. In the second section three essays offer contrasting accounts of the controversy and its significance. The first considers the social processes by which art becomes art, the second focuses on the role of the media in shaping public opinion about art, and the third compares the reception of Voice of Fire in two distinctive frameworks, first at Expo '67 in Montreal and then in Ottawa in 1990. In the final part four papers given at a symposium on Voice of Fire organized by the gallery in October 1990 (a combined effort at damage control and art criticism) are presented, as well as a transcription of the public dialogue between speakers and audience which followed. 410 0$aTheory/culture 606 $aPainting, Abstract$zUnited States 606 $aPublic opinion$zCanada 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPainting, Abstract 615 0$aPublic opinion 676 $a759.13 702 $aBarber$b Bruce 702 $aGuilbaut$b Serge 702 $aO'Brian$b John$f1944- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456390103321 996 $aVoices of fire$92447167 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01598nam 2200385 450 001 9910703511203321 005 20150325100540.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002432593 035 $a(OCoLC)905603255 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002432593 100 $a20150325d2014 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aComprehensive conservation plan $eCokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Wyoming /$fprepared by Cokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge [and] U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region 6, Mountain-Prairie Region, Division of Refuge Planning 210 1$aCokeville, WY :$cCokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge,$d[2014] 215 $a1 online resource (162 pages) $ccolor illustrations, color maps 300 $aTitle from title screen (viewed on Mar. 24, 2015). 300 $a"March 2014." 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 159-162). 517 $aComprehensive conservation plan 606 $aWildlife conservation$zWyoming$zCokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge 606 $aWildlife refuges$zWyoming$xManagement 607 $aCokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge (Wyo.)$xPlanning 615 0$aWildlife conservation 615 0$aWildlife refuges$xManagement. 712 02$aU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.$bRegion 6.$bDivision of Refuge Planning, 801 0$bGPO 801 1$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910703511203321 996 $aComprehensive conservation plan$93422651 997 $aUNINA
