Robert STACEY, 58: Curator
He was 'the most authoritative student of Canadian art history'
By Noreen SHANAHAN, Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S10
As an independent Canadian art history scholar with a mind that never shut off, Robert STACEY was an archivist's nightmare. He'd badger them with obscure questions, demand accuracy and behave like some kind of academic detective who ferreted out truths.
"Bob STACEY saved our ass," said writer Christopher Moore, referring to his collaboration on The Illustrated History of Canada in the mid-1980s. "Here was someone who knew every image of the Canadian past, knew what it signified and how to use it, and knew where to secure prints and rights at blinding speed."
Mr. STACEY worked on art history projects, books, documentaries, gallery shows and academic study projects from one end of Canada to the other. "But it barely jelled into a career," said Mr. Moore. "He was always simultaneously a freelance art curator and the most authoritative student of Canadian art history anyone knew."
Bob STACEY was born with an arts legacy. The son of Harold STACEY, a renowned Toronto silversmith, and Margaret STACEY, the third daughter of artist C.W. JEFFERYS, he grew up in a home where art was an everyday topic. After all, his father's work had been acquired by the National Gallery, while his grandfather's art was found in the Art Gallery of Ontario, the War Museum, the Library and Archives of Canada and many private collections. According to Mr. STACEY's partner, Maggie KEITH, he enjoyed a childhood in which an appreciation for the arts was considered to be a perfectly normal part of life. "That's what normal people did. Who you would question, instead, would be people who weren't involved in the arts; what did they do with themselves all day?"
In 1966, while a Grade 11 student at Northview Heights Collegiate in North York, Bob wrote, directed and acted in an absurdist play called A Dream of Unreason that was performed at Hart House Theatre in Toronto. Two years later, he graduated from high school and enrolled at the University of Toronto. While an undergraduate, he ran into some unusual academic challenges. Instead of providing essays on assigned topics, he often annoyed his professors by pursuing independent lines of scholarly research. One of his early obsessions was moving the Canadian art world away from the notion that the Group of Seven was born as a reaction to something staid and European. For instance, he positioned C.W. Jefferys as an artist at the centre of an important group who painted the Canadian landscape a good 15 years before members of the Group of Seven had ever taken a walk in the woods.
In 1976, Mr. STACEY curated "C.W. Jefferys, 1869-1951" at the Agnes Etherington Gallery in Kingston. Two years later, he curated a poster-art exhibition at the Art Gallery of Ontario, followed by the publication of The Canadian Poster Book: 100 Years of the Poster in Canada. According to Ms. KEITH, he was once again compelled to debunk a popular notion of art history by proving that some of the Group of Seven had earned their living as commercial artists, and that tattered broadsheet advertising could be works of art.
"Bob was one of the most thorough, questioning researchers-writers I've ever met," said Jim Burrant, who answered many of his calls at the Library and Archives Canada. "He was always looking for answers, so you tended to feel bombarded with phone calls and wonderfully handwritten messages about various points. I learned so much working with Bob and trying to answer his questions."
An example of the depth of his research was evident in 1997, when he was working on the book Massanoga: The Art of Bon Echo and discovered that nobody had ever photographed the pictographs on Mazinaw Rock. He hired a photographer and crossed the ice one frigid March day, cameras in tow. "It probably cost him as much as he earned on the book," said Mr. Burrant.
Mr. STACEY published a variety of other books and curated a number of successful exhibitions on Canadian art history during the 1970s and 1980s. At the same time, his reputation as a researcher grew. He consistently juggled a fistful of scholarly projects: citizens fighting to save historical murals; publishers seeking historical images for their book covers; art auction houses looking to authenticate paintings.
"When someone in Canada has a problem, a challenge, or an opportunity involving images of Canada's history, as often as not a call will reach Robert STACEY at the Archives of Canadian Art and Design in an old industrial building on the edge of downtown Toronto," Mr. Moore wrote in The Beaver.
Mr. STACEY was frustrated by what he called laziness by historians, art directors and writers who used illustration in a very cavalier manner. "They act as if everything were in the public domain and don't credit the artist or the source - partly because things get swiped so often, so one sees the same images, and the same misinformation about them, perpetuated again and again," he said in The Beaver.
From 1991 to 1992, Mr. STACEY became the first Fellow at the National Gallery of Canada with work focusing on 20th century Canadian art, including preparing a monograph on the graphic art and design work of J.E.H. MacDonald of the Group of Seven.
An impressive series of publications and exhibitions followed, including "Varley: A Celebration" (1997); North by South: The Art of Peleg Franklin Brownell (1998); "Qu'Appelle: Tale of Two Valleys" (1998) and a group exhibition and publication called The Group of Seven in Western Canada (2002).
Mr. STACEY was adjunct curator at the McMichael Gallery in Kleinburg, Ontario, in 2002 but, according to Ms. KEITH, it was a heartbreaking experience. She described the gallery's rigid and conservative approach to exhibitions, and the fact that then-Ontario premier Mike Harris had passed legislation limiting what could be collected. The McMichael board, she said, didn't like contemporary works in travelling exhibitions.
"For a long time, Bob had badly wanted an adjunct curatorship at a public gallery so that he could advocate for his projects more effectively than he could as an outsider… unfortunately, the appointment came too late for him."
Mr. STACEY was an alcoholic and within a few months of accepting this position he suffered a seizure. He continued working, but was forced to slow down during his last few years.
Robert STACEY was born July 2, 1949, in North York, Ontario He died of liver failure on November 4, 2007, in Toronto. He was 58. He is survived by his partner, Maggie KEITH, and his mother, Margaret STACEY. He also leaves his sister Clara.

head psychiatrist at Ottawa hospital survived notorious Lubyanka Prison
Arrested after the Soviet Union invaded Poland in 1939, he was sent to Moscow for interrogation. After the war, he settled in Canada and became an early advocate of community mental health
By Buzz BOURDON, Special to the Globe and Mail, Page S9
Ottawa -- At the beginning of the Second World War, Victor SZYRYNSKI spent almost a year incarcerated in Moscow's infamous Lubyanka Prison, yet he refused to yield.
Along with many other Polish patriots, he was arrested after the Soviet Union invaded Poland. The country was in crisis - Nazi Germany had invaded Poland from the west 16 days earlier on September 1, 1939, triggering the war.
He had been rounded up a year later on a charge of practising anti-Soviet activities and transported to Lubyanka, the very mention of which was enough to send shivers of terror down the spine of most Soviets. Built in 1898 during the Czarist era as the headquarters of the All-Russia Insurance Company, the building had been appropriated by the Cheka, the Bolshevik secret police, after the 1917 revolution and used as a centre of torture, interrogation and sometimes execution.
Dr. SZYRYNSKI felt his heart sink as he was led to his cell deep inside the yellow-brick prison. Over the months that followed, he was subjected to sleep deprivation, scanty rations, and aggressive and lengthy questioning that went on at all hours of the day and night. An intellectual who had published poetry before the war, he suffered through months of intense questioning that might have broken a lesser man.
Although he always maintained that his interrogators never physically tortured him, he said they did their best to get the information they wanted about his activities in the Polish underground. His spirits never flagged, however. His fierce love of Poland and his deep Catholic faith got him through the ordeal.
Dr. SZYRYNSKI, who was an assistant professor of neurology at the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius, then part of Poland, when the war broke out, had another ace up his sleeve. "They couldn't get anything out of him because he knew how to confuse his interrogators by using psychological techniques," said his daughter, Theresa AUBANEL. "He also had the mental attitude to overcome his fears."
Victor SZYRYNSKI was born in prerevolutionary St. Petersburg, the scion of an aristocratic Tatar family that traced its history back to Genghis Khan. After the First World War broke out in 1914, the boy was sent to his grandmother's estate in Finland and spent an idyllic childhood in the countryside.
At 12, he joined the Polish scouting movement and quickly grew to love it, said his granddaughter, Anna STACHULAK. He remained devoted to scouting for the rest of his life. "He used to tell us that life is with people, you have to reach out and be part of a community, not to isolate yourself. He probably developed all this from his love of scouting."
As Poland consolidated its independence from the Soviets after the war, Doctor SZYRYNSKI attended high school in Bialystok, then graduated from the University of Warsaw in 1938 with a degree in medicine.
Two years later, after his arrest, he was on a train with hundreds of others on their way to an unknown fate. Before crossing the frontier into the Soviet Union, the train stopped in Glebokie to take on food and water.
One of the prisoners, a priest, asked a crowd of Poles gathered near the train if someone could go to the local church and get some communion wafers so he could celebrate mass. A young Girl Guide offered to help and ran to the church. Returning, she crawled under one of the carriages to pass the wafers through a gap in the floorboards. It was Doctor SZYRYNSKI who took them from her fingers and, for an instant, they connected.
The priest said mass and the moment passed. Soon, the train was on its way again and eventually the prisoners were delivered to camps and interrogation centres deep within the Soviet Union, including Doctor SZYRYNSKI to Lubyanka Prison.
The fear must have been overwhelming to Doctor SZYRYNSKI and his Polish compatriots. Poland had been split by two brutal occupiers and their families had no idea what would become of them. Would they be sent to Siberia as slave labour for the camps, or would they be taken from their cells in the middle of the night and executed with a bullet in the back of the neck?
Decades after the war, Doctor SZYRYNSKI confided that he had triumphed over his captors because God had come to him in a dream. After that, he said, "it was easy to look into my interrogator's eyes with no fear. It made the cold nights in the prison warmer."
To keep their spirits up, Doctor SZYRYNSKI and his Friends recited as much Polish literature as they could remember. They also managed to read all of the many volumes of Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdue. They shared their meagre food and dreamed of the day when they would be released and reunited with their families.
In June, 1941, Germany invaded the Soviet Union and finally the Kremlin decided to release tens of thousands of Poles, including Dr. SZYRYNSKI. He joined Polish forces under British command in Iraq as a medical officer and spent the next five years in Africa and the Middle East, treating Polish orphans living in refugee camps. When the war ended he was awarded Poland's Silver Cross of Merit, with swords.
By that time, he was back in Iraq working at a military hospital near Baghdad. On the staff were a number of Polish nurses, one of whom caught his fancy. She was about 10 years younger than him and, to his eye, there was something very appealing about her.
Her name was Jadwiga SZCZEBIOT and he set to thinking about how they could be properly introduced. It was not long before he had enlisted the help of a priest, who invited the nurse to come by for tea. When she arrived, she discovered the priest already had another guest - Doctor SZYRYNSKI.
It wasn't long before romance flourished between the two compatriots, far from home and facing an uncertain future. They traded stories and Jadwiga shared how, she, too, had been rounded up by the Soviets and shipped to Siberia. He told her of his experiences in Lubyanka Prison, and of being sent to Moscow on a train full of political prisoners. To their astonishment, they realized they had met before. Jadwiga was the Girl Guide who had fetched the wafers.
Two years later - seven years after they had unknowingly met amid the human flotsam and jetsam of a world war - the couple were married in Jerusalem on April 12, 1947.
"We just liked each other," Ms. SZYRYNSKI said this week of their meeting outside Baghdad. "He was nice, very pleasant. We went swimming, walked by the river together."
After Jerusalem, they emigrated to Britain, where Doctor SZYRYNSKI completed postgraduate studies. They arrived in Canada in 1948. After completing his doctorate in psychology at the University of Ottawa, he taught psychiatry. He also specialized in neurology and psychotherapy. In 1964, he was named head of the psychiatry department at Ottawa General Hospital.
For four decades, Doctor SZYRYNSKI's research and clinical work focused on the community and he became an early proponent of preventative psychiatry and the team mental health approach. "He advocated tirelessly for prompt recognition and assistance of mental health problems by co-operation among family, community, professional and religious services," said his granddaughter, Christina STACHULAK.
The author of more than 70 articles, he was a fastidious man who expected high standards among his peers. Over the course of his career, he was awarded many honours, including fellowships in the Royal College of Physicians, Canada, and the American Psychiatric Association.
A central figure in Canadian-Polish community relations, Doctor SZYRYNSKI spent a lifetime contributing to his church. In 1969, at his Ottawa home, he entertained an obscure Polish cardinal called Karol Wojtyla, who later became Pope John Paul II. The two hit it off and corresponded over the years, meeting five times in all. "His religion was deep inside, he never talked about it," said his wife. "It was deeds that counted."
Victor SZYRYNSKI was born October 10, 1913, in St. Petersburg, Russia. He died of natural causes in Ottawa on September 21, 2007. He was 93. He leaves his wife, Jadwiga, daughters Barbara and Theresa, grandchildren Anna, Christina, Sebastien, Vincent and Alexandre, and great-granddaughter Rose.

STALKER, Robert
With courage and dignity, Bob STALKER died at the age of 74 on November 25, 2007 in the embrace of his wife and daughters. He will be greatly missed by his wife Jacqueline, his daughters Patti GRAY/GREY, Lynn PRESTON, and Bobbi ÉTHIER, their spouses, Bob BANKOSKY, Brian PRESTON, and Mike ÉTHIER, his grand_sons Jamie GRAY/GREY, Jeremy GRAY/GREY and Paul DESCHAMBAULT, his brothers Stan and George and members of his extended family. Robert STALKER was born in 1933 in Broughty Ferry and spent his childhood in Scotland. At the age of 14, he boarded the R.M.S. Aquitania with his family and headed for Pier 21 in Halifax. Like other immigrants to Canada after the second world war, Robert and his family had to spend their first few years on a farm. As soon as possible, however, his parents opened their own corner grocery store in Midland, Ontario and Bob himself escaped farming by joining the Air Force. At the age of 16, Bob met Jacqueline DAOUST at a high school graduation dance. They dated and married in Ottawa two years later after he was established in the Air Force and she had graduated from teacher training at Ottawa University. Their 55 years of marriage were filled with joy and happiness plus a fair bit of challenge and accommodation due to Air Force transfers which had the family living in eighteen different homes in Canada, the U.S., and Europe during Bob's thirty years in the service. Finally settling in Winnipeg by choice, Major STALKER retired from the Air Force in 1980, took Easter weekend off, and then began a second career with the Federal Government. His next and last retirement in 1984 enabled him to pursue new challenges. He continued running or walking five miles a day and also, through diligent hard work and persistence, became a vintner 'extraordinaire' which his family and Friends wholeheartedly appreciated. Retirement enjoyment increased with the 1993 purchase of a villa in Florida and his wife's retirement in 1995. The villa, named Palybo after their children Pat, Lynn, and Bobbi, was the centre of activity for all of the extended family and Friends. This sanctuary from cold Canadian winters became a very special place where everyone was welcome. Bob loved the ocean, the outdoors, classical music, walking along the beach, and being with his family, including visiting animal members. He was an avid reader and always had an Economist at hand and a history book close by. After retiring from the service, he also volunteered for political candidates that he believed in and worked for political parties he supported. Despite annual physical checkups throughout his life, prostate cancer was only diagnosed in December 2005. Bob STALKER will be greatly missed not only by his family but also by all of those who knew him. The family extends sincere thanks to Doctor Bennett at the Health Action Centre, the staff at Cancer Care Manitoba, and especially to each and every caring dedicated staff member of 3 East Palliative Care wing at Riverview Health Centre. Cremation has taken place and, according to his wishes, no service is being held at this time. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to Cancer Care Manitoba or to 3 East Palliative Care, Riverview Health Centre Foundation, Morley Avenue, Winnipeg R3L 2P4.

Man dies during late-night swim
Group jumps fence at motel
By Scott DUNN, Wednesday, August 08, 2007
A 24-year-old Hamilton man died in a closed swimming pool early Saturday morning after jumping a fence, police confirmed Tuesday.
Bruce Peninsula Ontario Provincial Police said Bruno LARANJEIRO died after getting into trouble in the pool at the Sauble Lodge Motel on Second Avenue North in Sauble Beach. Police were called at 2 a.m. to investigate a report that someone may have drowned.
"Several persons jumped the fence, locked fence, and were in the pool," Const. Dave MEYER said in an interview Tuesday. "The victim doesn't know how to swim apparently, according to the girlfriend, and she was screaming for help."
People came to his aid and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation but LARANJEIRO died, MEYER said.
A post-mortem exam was done in Owen Sound Sunday.
Police don't suspect foul play.
Asked how LARANGEIRO ended up in the pool, MEYER said "He went swimming… it was a situation he didn't know how to swim. Alcohol was involved."
LARANJEIRO had been drinking at the motel's nightclub, MEYER said.
MEYER referred questions about the cause of death to the coroner's office. Doctor Jack STANBOROUGH said Tuesday it will take more time before a death by drowning can be confirmed because it is arrived at through a process of eliminating other possible causes.
He called it an "apparent drowning."
Jaswinder GREWAL owns the Sauble Lodge Motel. She said in an interview Tuesday she closed the bar at 12: 45 a.m. Saturday and started cleaning for about 20 minutes. She went upstairs to bed and heard someone screaming about 25 minutes later.
She looked out the window and saw six or seven people in the pool.
Initially she was angry that people had jumped the fence to swim and she came down and told them to leave.
Then she grew nervous when she saw three or four people trying to pull the naked victim out of the pool.
Next she phoned 911 but was told an ambulance was already on the way. She returned to the victim and resuscitation efforts were underway. She picked up the man's cold hand.
"I couldn't sleep whole night," GREWAL said.
A pair of underwear was found in the pool later.
Jose MARTINS said in an interview LARANJEIRO and his girlfriend stayed with him and four others in Room 48. MARTINS was Friends with LARANJEIRO and occasionally they attended the same parties.
MARTINS said his friend had been drinking that night but he didn't see him enter the pool because he stayed in the bar. He said his friend was a happy, sociable man. He worked in construction, with asphalt and cement.
He understands after LARANJEIRO's funeral Thursday he will be taken to Portugal for burial.
