During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Laurent Amiot redefined religious, domestic and commemorative silversmithing, turning it into an art form. Produced in conjunction with the first retrospective devoted to one of Canada’s finest silversmiths, this stunning, richly-illustrated catalogue explores the quality and importance of Amiot’s oeuvre while providing a fresh perspective on the history of the society he helped shape and define.

Le Canada et l’impressionnisme. Nouveaux horizons casts off the enduring notions associated with French Impressionism by shedding light on the contributions of Canadian artists to this widespread movement. The first of its kind, this publication adds a new chapter to the history of World Impressionism as it positions the work of the Canadian Impressionists within the cosmopolitan milieus of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Progressing from Impressionistic renderings of contemporary life to interpretations of reality through the lenses of Fauvism, Post-Impressionism, and subsequent modes of expression, Impressionism in Canada evolved into a form of modernity tailored to the spirit of a young nation.

Erika Dolphin
with Jonathan L. Meakins

Le cosmos des collectionneurs. La Collection d’estampes Meakins–McClaran provides a glimpse into the making of what is, undoubtedly, the foremost private collection of 16th and 17th-century Dutch and Flemish prints in Canada. While that is the strength of the collection, there is also a joyful touch of eclecticism reflecting the Renaissance interests of the collectors Dr. Jonathan Meakins and Dr. Jacqueline McClaran.

In this beautiful and fully illustrated catalogue, Dr. Meakins takes us through the collection’s history, which began forty years ago in Paris following an afternoon in a room full of prints by Camille Pissarro at the Grand Palais. He reflects upon how a collection is never static; it ebbs and flows much like life. The other essay by Erika Dolphin, a personal account of her exploration of the collection, examines the flourishing of images of landscape in northern Europe and illustrates how art in the form of a humble print can lead us to reflect upon the myriad wonders of life.

Martina Weinhart

With contributions by Rebecca Herlemann, Ruth Phillips, Carmen Robertson, Jeff Thomas, Georgiana Uhlaryik, Reneée van der Avoird, Martina Weinhart and Interviews with Lisa Jackson and Caroline Monnet

In the early 20th century, artists such as Emily Carr, Tom Thomson, and members of what would become the Group of Seven, transformed Post-Impressionism techniques into exciting new ways of interpreting the Canadian landscape.

Challenging existing traditions, they left major cities such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver and ventured deep into the Canadian wilderness. Often remaining in the bush for weeks on end, they reimagined the natural world using bold colours, stylized forms, and dynamic brushwork, producing vibrant modernist works that would define Canada and Canadian art for decades to come.

Premiering at Frankfurt’s Schirn Kunsthalle, Magnetic North features 87 works of art, including 23 works from the National Gallery of Canada. The exhibition also comprises five films, including two by contemporary Indigenous artists: How a People Live, a documentary by filmmaker Lisa Jackson and Mobilize, a short film by artist Caroline Monnet.

Magnetic North was organized by the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the National Gallery of Canada, with the generous support of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

Pierre Théberge, Jean Clair 

On the heels of the Roaring Twenties, the 1930s, which spanned from the economic crisis of 1929 to the outbreak of the Second World War, was a dark decade. Beyond similar governmental mechanisms, these regimes shared an ideology: the will to create what they called the "New Man." This decade began with a more or less innocent dream of the theme of the original egg, germination, the harmonious growth of a fabric both biological and social, but ended with the nightmarish discovery of corpses in the concentration camps by the armies of liberation in 1945.

Les années soixante au Canada follows the trends in Canadian artistic production during that decade which tested the conventional boundaries of artistic disciplines; photographic works also testify to the experimentation and eclectisicm that characterize Canadian photography. Nearly 180 featured works by Canadian artists pinpoint the diversity of artistic expression throughout this remarkably prolific period.

An overview of the use of textile in contemporary visual arts around the world.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, artists who work with thread and fabric have made their mark on the world of contemporary art. They are represented at major international events, and there are fairs dedicated to them throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia. 

This book looks at a number of artists who have used this medium in innovative and unique ways since the end of the 19th century, and profiles the creators who have chosen it to support their political, economic, social or ecological initiatives. It shows that textile art remains subversive: it blurs the boundaries between fine art, applied art and design, between tradition and modernity. It highlights "peripheral" identities and cultures. By questioning the categories of "feminine" and "masculine", it blurs genres and challenges conventions.
