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.

“The struggle to realize and to express my nature is my life’s meaning.” — Erica Rutherford
Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works accompanies a career-spanning retrospective exhibition of this multidisciplinary Canadian artist and transgender pioneer.
An artist, actor, filmmaker, farmer, teacher, and writer, Erica Rutherford’s remarkably multifaceted career took her across several countries and continents before settling on Prince Edward Island in the 1970s. There she established herself as a painter and printmaker, using art to engage in a reflection on gender construction and agency.
This remarkable retrospective includes reproductions of more than 65 paintings, prints, and drawings, as well as personal photographs. An interview with Rutherford’s widow, artist Gail Rutherford, accompanies critical essays by scholars and curators examining Rutherford’s stylistic evolution from dark semi-abstract collages to hard-edged Pop Art. Says editor and curator Pan Wendt, “In retrospect, Rutherford’s work represents a courageous and often solitary mission of working through questions that are only now part of the mainstream public discourse.”
