Paul-Émile Borduas 

In 1948, four hundred copies of an explosive manifesto appeared secretly in Quebec: Refus global, which paints a portrait of a bigoted and withdrawn society, and calls, in virtuoso language, for a poetic revolution. Borduas denounces the fears that surround individuals and calls for a poetic and anthropological revolt to give birth to a "new collective hope".

Joan Borsa 

Ruth Cuthand was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and is of Plains Cree and Scottish ancestry. For nearly 30 years her works “talk back” to mainstream media and colonial society, addressing the frictions between cultures, the failures of representation, and the political uses of anger in Canada. Her subjects include “white liberal” attitudes towards Aboriginal women, the Canadian response to the 1990 Oka crisis, Mormon-Native relations in Cardston, Alberta (the artist's childhood home), and more. This comprehensive overview features a selection of artworks produced between 1983 and 2009, including the complete suite of twelve award-winning beadworks, the Trading series, which depict the diseases that ravished First Nations upon European contact. As an artist, teacher, and cultural activist, Cuthand has been extremely influential on contemporary Aboriginal artists across Canada.

Anne Newlands

For decades, the paintings of the Group of Seven have been instantly familiar to Canadians. But in the early part of the 20th century, these artists were engaged in a struggle for acceptance, mocked by critics and the public alike. In The Group of Seven and Tom Thomson author Anne Newlands explores the ambitions and visions of this unique cast of characters, capturing the cultural and historical realities of their time and bringing to life their artistic response to the Canadian wilderness.

Poem by Edward Lear, paintings by Erica Rutherford

The owl and pussycat have gone to sea often in the past 100 years, but never in a boat so green, on a sea so blue, into horizons and lands so glowing with color. Artist Erica Rutherford has created beautiful, silk-screened images of Edward Lear’s much loved fantasy poem of two unlikely companions and a spare little boat. First published 150 years ago, “The Owl and the Pussycat” is impossible, nonsensical, whimsical, and it is in those very elements that its appeal lies.
