Canada and Impressionism: New 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.

Originally produced to accompany the 2014−2015 touring exhibition of Alex Colville’s work and back by popular demand, this new printing of the highly acclaimed catalogue Colville, is now available in paperback edition.

When Alex Colville died in July 2013 at the age of ninety-two, he left an extraordinary artistic legacy. A key Canadian painter of our age, Colville possessed a peculiar intensity and crisp style of brushwork that probed deeply into the recesses of the human experience. Charting a course through five main sections that explore the complete career of this Nova Scotia painter, the exhibition catalogue begins on the front lines of the Second World War and moves through the artist’s life and times.

Eighteenth-century Rome was a cosmopolitan centre that became a mecca for artists, collectors, and enlightened art lovers. It was also the primary destination for artists from France wanting to perfect their craft. This work highlights the artistic effervescence of the Eternal City, where French artists were able to study ancient monuments and masterpieces of sculpture and painting, benefitting from the protection of influential patrons with a passion for the arts. Featuring more than one hundred works, this volume offers an exceptional selection of drawings and prints together with a large number of paintings. It presents works by artists regarded as among the most significant of their day, in particular Hubert Robert, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, and Jacques-Louis David.
