Appraisal

by Carla Garnet  1982,  Appraisal provided to the Canadian Cultural Property Export Review Board, who after considering 23works, concluded that the works of Mary Rawlyk “meet the required criteria for “outstanding significance and national importance.”

“Both Joyce Wieland and Mary Pratt are better known than Mary Rawlyk although in time, her work may be considered as important or more so because Rawlyk's work is much like that of Hannah Hoch.  Hoch was little known in her lifetime and now is considered most remarkable for challenging accepted social and artistic values early in the 20th Century and for the innate sophistication she brought to her craft. Rawlyk like Hoch addresses issues like gender-typed roles and visual marginalizing of women using montage.”
