This original publication, which focuses on the early decades of the 20th century, is the first in a new series devoted to the study of photographic masterpieces from the National Gallery of Canada's international collection. Examining the expansive, innovative and often contradictory modernist ethos that shaped the creation and use of photographic art from 1900 to 1940, this generously illustrated publication highlights dozens of works from Germany, England, Czech Republic, United States, France, Russia, Hungary, Japan and Canada. An introductory essay describes the development of photography artistically, technically and socially. Following the essay, 79 individual works are presented within the context of their times. Each is illustrated with a full-page duo tone plate. Among the artists are some of the world's greatest photographic innovators, notably Eugène Atget, Margaret Bourke-White, Brassaï, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Lisette Model, Alexander Rodchenko and Edward Weston.

The variety, width and breadth of photographic culture in Canada is extraordinary, and Canadian photographers are among the most prominent and influential in the world today. From classic street photography, documentary images and landscape imagery, to experimental abstractions and conceptual work, photography is an area of particularly rich exploration in our country. Photography in Canada 1960–2000 is the fifth in a series that presents the Gallery's Photographs Collection, and this catalogue is the first to be published by the newly established Canadian Photography Institute (CPI).

Pop Life: Art in a Material World explores the complex relationship between contemporary art, marketing and the mass media. Beginning with the late work of American Pop artist Andy Warhol, the catalogue explores how some of today's high-profile media-savvy artists (Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Keith Haring, and Takashi Murakami, for example) have followed his lead, embracing celebrity and commerce as the foundation of their work.

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.
