Canadian Paintings, Prints and Drawings

An up-to-date survey of Canadian art

Canada has a rich and diverse heritage in the fine arts. This book celebrates the color, beauty and energy of some of our most talented artists, among them Emily Carr, Tom Thomson, Paul Kane, David Milne, Alex Colville, Norval Morrisseau and Jean-Paul Riopelle.

Canadian Paintings, Prints and Drawings presents a wide variety of dynamic styles and distinct subject matter. The stunning collection includes late 18th-century watercolor landscapes, art from the 19th-century merchant classes, and works by the Group of Seven, Les Automatistes, Painters Eleven, First Nations and Inuit artists, and contemporary artists on the cutting edge of creativity.

An introduction places these artists in context. The book's informative captions provide a short biography along with commentary on each work's style and subject matter.
