Russell (John Russell), 1914-1983 : J. Russell Harper was born in Caledonia, Ontario, in 1914. After receiving his teacher's certificate from the Hamilton Normal School in 1932, he taught primary school in Haldimand County before continuing his education as a part-time student at McMaster University. He attended the Ontario College of Art, 1938-1940, and after serving with the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War enrolled at the University of Toronto, from which he graduated in 1948 with an M.A. in Art and Archaeology. While at the University of Toronto, Harper acted as curator for Hart House and after graduating, he became chief cataloguer at the Royal Ontario Museum.
Harper moved to New Brunswick to work for the New Brunswick Museum in Saint John, 1951-1955. He was curator of Lord Beaverbrook's art collection, 1957-1959, and in 1959 also worked on the Louisbourg restoration project. He moved to Ottawa later that year to begin working at the National Gallery, where he was curator of Canadian art until 1963. He then moved to Montreal where he was chief curator at the McCord Museum, McGill University, 1965-1968, and taught at Concordia University, 1965-1979.
Following Harper's studies at the University of Toronto, he began to publish articles on Canadian history, art and archaeology in various learned journals. During the 1960's, Harper focussed more and more on Canadian painting and in 1966 he published his "Painting in Canada: a History" and in 1970, his "Early Painters and Engravers in Canada". These were followed by major studies on the Canadian artists Paul Kane and Cornelius Krieghoff, and on Canadian folk art.
In recognition of the seminal work he contributed to the development of the study of Canadian art history, Russell Harper received a number of honours and awards during his lifetime. He received a Royal Society of Canada Fellowship to study in Paris, 1956-1957, and a Social Science Research Council grant to study in Rome and Great Britain 1957-1958. He received honorary degrees from the University of Guelph, 1972, and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, 1982. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, 1974, and in the same year was made an Officer of the Order of Canada.Information additionnelle :Note générale :Received between 1987 and 1990 from J. Russell Harper's widow, Elizabeth Harper of South Lancaster, Ontario. The Arctic Research material (vol. 63) was received in 1990 from Elizabeth Harper through Robert Stacey of Toronto, Ontario.Note sur le classement :Harper's original order was retained where order existed. There is consequently a fair amount of overlap between various series and the researcher should examine the finding aid closely to avoid overlooking any material.Vedette-matière :- Hind, William George Richardson
