Art for War and Peace: How a Great Public Art Project Helped Canada Discover Itself

Beschreibung

Now available in paperback! The largest public art project in Canadian history, the Sampson-Matthews print program began as wartime propaganda and lasted into the 1960s. The bright silkscreens hung in every school, library, bank and dentist's office from Whitehorse to St. John's, shaping Canadians' ideas about art - and their vast homeland. Art for War and Peace tells the remarkable story of the prints, with full-colour reproductions of more than a hundred silkscreens and contributions from several art writers, including Douglas Coupland.
