Notice biographique
Paraskeva Clark (née Plistik) took evening classes at the Petrograd Academy of Fine Arts. By 1916 she was taking private lessons from the landscape painter Savely Seidenberg. When the Russian Academy became the Free Studios following the Revolution of 1917, Clark took advantage of the opportunity to study (1918-1921) with Vasily Shukhayev and Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin without paying tuition fees. In 1923 Clark moved to Paris, and there she met and married a Canadian, Philip Clark. In 1931 the couple moved to Toronto. Clark met many of the major figures in the Canadian painting establishment and by 1932 she showed a self-portrait at the Royal Canadian Academy annual exhibition. Clark was a member of the Canadian Group of Painters (1936); the Canadian Society of Painters in Water Colour (1937); Canadian Society of Graphic Art (1938, resigned 1940); the Ontario Society of Artists (1954), and the Royal Canadian Academy (Associate, 1956; Academician, 1966). Clark gave several lectures on Soviet art at the Art Gallery of Ontario. During the 1930s she was one of only a few Canadian painters whose work reflected her political convictions. During the Second World War Clark was appointed by the National Gallery of Canada to record the activities of the Women’s Divisions of the Armed Forces. She participated in many group shows and between 1951 and 1956, she held four large solo shows at the New Laing Gallery (1959), the University of Toronto (1952), MacDonald College, McGill University (1956) and Hart House, University of Toronto (1956). Her work is owned by the National Gallery of Canada, Hart House, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and many private collectors.
