Erica Rutherford Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works accompanies a career-spanning retrospective exhibition of this multidisciplinary Canadian artist and transgender pioneer. An artist, actor, filmmaker, farmer, teacher, and writer, Erica Rutherfords remarkably multifaceted career took her across several countries and continents before settling on Prince Edward Island in the 1970s. There she established herself as a painter and printmaker, using art to engage in a reflection on gender construction and agency. This remarkable retrospective includes reproductions of more than 60 paintings, prints, and drawings, as well as personal photographs. An interview with Rutherfords widow, artist Gail Rutherford, accompanies critical essays by scholars and curators examining Rutherfords stylistic evolution from dark semi-abstract collages to hard-edged Pop Art. Says editor and curator Pan Wendt, In retrospect, Rutherfords work represents a courageous and often solitary mission of working through questions that are only now part of the mainstream public discourse. Ma vie trouve son sens dans le combat que je mene pour comprendre et exprimer ma vraie nature.

“The struggle to realize and to express my nature is my life’s meaning.” — Erica Rutherford
Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works accompanies a career-spanning retrospective exhibition of this multidisciplinary Canadian artist and transgender pioneer.
An artist, actor, filmmaker, farmer, teacher, and writer, Erica Rutherford’s remarkably multifaceted career took her across several countries and continents before settling on Prince Edward Island in the 1970s. There she established herself as a painter and printmaker, using art to engage in a reflection on gender construction and agency.
This remarkable retrospective includes reproductions of more than 60 paintings, prints, and drawings, as well as personal photographs. An interview with Rutherford’s widow, artist Gail Rutherford, accompanies critical essays by scholars and curators examining Rutherford’s stylistic evolution from dark semi-abstract collages to hard-edged Pop Art. Says editor and curator Pan Wendt, “In retrospect, Rutherford’s work represents a courageous and often solitary mission of working through questions that are only now part of the mainstream public discourse.”
Ma vie trouve son sens dans le combat que je mène pour comprendre et exprimer ma vraie nature.
— Erica Rutherford
Erica Rutherford : sa vie, son œuvres accompagne la rétrospective consacrée à la carrière de cette artiste canadienne multidisciplinaire, pionnière parmi les personnes trans.
Art pictural, arts de la scène, production cinématographique, agriculture, enseignement, littérature : autant de disciplines qui ont mené Erica Rutherford dans de nombreux pays et sur plusieurs continents avant son installation à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard dans les années 1970. Rutherford privilégie finalement la peinture, qui lui permet de s’engager dans une réflexion complexe sur la construction du genre et la puissance d’agir.
Outre la reproduction des 75 peintures, estampes, dessins et photographies personnelles qui composent la rétrospective, cet ouvrage remarquable propose une entrevue avec l’artiste Gail Rutherford, partenaire d’Erica Rutherford, des essais critiques au fil desquels universitaires et conservateurs relatent l’évolution stylistique d’Erica Rutherford depuis de sombres collages semi-abstraits jusqu’à l’association hard edge et pop art. Pour Pan Wendt, commissaire de l’exposition, « il apparaît maintenant que l’œuvre d’Erica Rutherford est l’expression d’une mission poursuivie avec courage et souvent dans la solitude : celle de sonder des questions qui se font à peine jour sur la place publique ».
