Canadian Watercolours and Drawings in the Royal Ontario Museum, Volume 3

Beschreibung

The third and final volume of Canadian Watercolours and Drawings showcases a legacy of pictorial Canadiana that investigates Canada through images of landscapes, cultural events, and individuals who originated or settled here, or those who simply visited the country. Volume 3 features artwork acquired by the Royal Ontario Museum since 1972. It continues the tradition of documenting the striking imagery of Canada that spans over a century of this country's heritage, from aerial landscapes and intimate portraits to evocative scenes of daily life. Arranged alphabetically by artist, the works, research, and interpretation within offer a window into Canada's past interpreted by more than 100 artists featured in this catalogue.

Autor

Mary Allodi is the author of the first two volumes of Canadian Watercolours in the Royal Ontario Museum. She is curator emeritus of Early Canadian Paintings & Prints at ROM. One of the country's senior art historians and a pioneer and pillar in the study of early Canadian art, she was awarded a Fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts and in 1999 was invested into the Order of Canada. Arlene Gehmacher is the L.R. Wilson Curator of Canadian Art & Culture at ROM. An art historian specializing in imagery of Canada from the 18th century to the present, primarily in the visual idioms of Western European art, Arlene studies "Canada" as a subject in its social context, in terms of production, critical reception, institutional histories, and display strategies, as a means to address how identities and historical narratives from national to personal levels are articulated and communicated.
