TONI ONLEY . PAPER S
INTRODUCTION
Toni Onley is one of Canada's outstanding landscape artists ,
and his colourful mythology makes him one of Canada's mos t
celebrated citizens . Born in Douglas, Isle . of Man in 1928, Onle y
began painting the Island's countryside at an early age an d
received some formal training at the Douglas School of Art .
In 1948, Onely emmigrated with his family to Ontari o
where he worked as a land surveyor, and as a designer of far m
equipment and canned food labels . Onley the followed hi s
parents to Penticton, B .C . in the mid-fifties . It was at thi s
time that Onley's uncertainties concerning his artistic futur e
were answered when he received a scholarship from the Institut o
Allende in Mexico . Now a single father with two daughters ,
(his first wife died in Ontario), Onley auctioned his persona l
inventory of 600 works for $1300 and headed for Mexico . Onle y
returned to Vancouver in 1958 and by a stroke of luck, due to a
last minute cancellation, replaced another artist at th e
Vancouver Art Gallery for his first one-man show . With the sal e
o f ; two paintings from this exhibition, Onley returned to Mexic o
for another two years .
The 1960's saw Toni Onley in England on a Canada Counci l
grant where he began his experimentation in abstraction an d
collage, but more importantly, was attracted back to landscap e
art by the great masters of English watercolour painting . Bac k
in Vancouver, Onley was commissioned by the Q .E . Playhouse t o
produce a mural which to the "horror" of Vancouverites, was a n
abstract collage . In 1965, Onley first began flying to reac h
remote or otherwise inaccessible landscapes, and acquired a n
amphibian aircraft in 1974 . He joined U .B .C .'s departmen t
of Fine Arts in 1967 where he remained until 1976 .
In 1974 Onley was a guest on the polar icebreaker Loui s
St . Laurent, aboard which he painted more than 100 watercolours .
It was this trip that fired his interest in the Arctic ,
politically as well as aesthetically . In 1975 Onley flew a
rigorous journey to Cape Dorset to work at the Baffin Islan d
Co-op .
It was in 1980 that Onley's name became best known t o
Canadians . A businessman known only as the "Fraser Valle y
Phantom", bought eight hundred of Onley's works for $930,000 . T o
date this is the largest purchase of works of a living Canadia n
artist . With the sale of all of the watercolours from Silen t
Thunder, Onley bought his Wilga '80 aircraft .
In 1983 Onley's name peppered newspapers and magazines ,
first with his threat to burn his personal inventory of prints
to protest Revenue Canada and secondly with his spectacular cras h
in Garibaldi Park . It was Toni Onley's protest of tax law s
which regarded artists as " manufactures" and their artwork a s
inventoried " products " that prompted the Rt . Hon . Joe Clark t o
introduce a private member's motion to the House of Commons .
The matter was referred to the Standing Committee on Communications led to Revenue Canada's interpretation Bulletin - 1T-504 B
concerning self employed visual artists and writers . It was i n
September, 1983 that Onley and photographer John Reeves crashe d
in Onley's Wilga '80 and were left stranded over eighteen hour s
suspended on two ledges over a glacial crevasse until they wer e
rescued .
Onley's artistic pursuits have taken him to Japan, Chin a
and to India where he completed the watercolours for Georg e
Woodcock's The Walls of India .
Onley's scholarley persuit s
include manuscripts concerning the Wilga '80 crash, his Japa n
travels, introduction for invitations of exhibits, and article s
for magazines . The Toni Onley papers also include officia l
correspondence with galleries, friends and associates .
