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.

Beginning in 1914 in Russia, a group of artists primed for experimentation introduced an entirely new direction for the visual arts, articulating the language of abstraction with Suprematism and Constructivism. This catalogue centers on the emergence of the Russian avant-garde movement in Moscow until the mid-1920s. Works by El Lissitzky, Vladimir Tatlin, Kazimir Malevich, Ilya Chashnik, Liubov Popova, Olga Rozanova and Ivan Kliun are featured. Also included is a rich selection of books, manuscripts, drawings and prints, reminding us that, for many Russians in the early twentieth century, art was a part of everyday life.

This richly illustrated book offers a detailed account of the history and evolution of the Canada Pavilion, built in 1958 in the gardens of the Venice Biennale.

Complete with reproductions of archival material including photographs, drawings, and maps, along with a portfolio from contemporary photographers, this commemorative publication includes essays on: the cultural and political context in which the Canada Pavilion committee worked; the concept and construction of the building and the links with architect Enrico Peressutti and the BBPR partnership; the Pavilion’s role in the postwar Italian cultural context and its fortunes from its inauguration in 1958 to the restoration in 2018; the restoration project itself, and finally, the relationship between the Pavilion and the Biennale Gardens.

Following the roles of key players involved in the design and construction of the building, to its multifaceted use over the past sixty years in exhibiting the work of some of Canada’s most talented artists and architects, The Canada Pavilion at the Venice Biennale illuminates the Pavilion’s great importance in the context of modern architecture, art and culture, and international political diplomacy.

Erika Dolphin
with Jonathan L. Meakins

The Collectors’ Cosmos: The Meakins–McClaran Print Collection 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.
