    Gar Smith

    Gar Smith, artist, photographer (born 1946 in Toronto, ON). Gar Smith’s career as an artist occurred within a colourful and prolific 20-year period between 1968 and 1988. For those two decades, he made searching and stridently virtuoso art that included groundbreaking photography (Noon, 1968; Notes on Light, 1969–70; Avenir, 1973), camera-less photography (Earth Stars, Future Markets, 1978), and sculptures of bells (I Give Bliss, I Give Warning, 1985). His final bell work was made for the Canadian embassy building in Tokyo in 1988. Then, rather curiously, Smith ceased making any more art.

    Gar Yin Hune

    Gar Yin “Jacqueline” Hune (née Deer Gar Yin), opera singer (born 1918 in Guangzhou, China; died 2000 in Toronto, ON). Gar Yin Hune was one of only a handful of Chinese women who immigrated to Canada during the Chinese Exclusion Period (1923–47), when Chinese people were banned from the country. Hune came to North America in 1938 at the age of 19 with a Cantonese opera company that was sponsored by the Chinese Freemasons. Her troupe’s performances allowed communities in Canada’s Chinatowns to gather and freely experience their culture in a segregated society. Hune’s cultural contributions inspired and enriched the fabric of Toronto's Chinatown. In 2025, the Museum of Toronto named her one of 52 women who shaped the city. This article was created in collaboration with Museum of Toronto.

    This article was originally published in Maclean’s magazine on July 22, 2002. Partner content is not updated. It's close to dawn when Garth Hudson shows me the gun. "I made it from a kit," he says, fondling a derringer with a smooth wooden handle. Hudson is sitting at a piano in his home studio, an old cabin in New York's Catskill Mountains.
