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.

Art historian Anne Koval wrote Mary Pratt: A Love Affair with Vision in close consultation with Pratt. The book is informed by extensive interviews with the artist, and her family, friends, and colleagues and by unprecedented access to Pratt's archival holdings at Mount Allison University. This in-depth study of Pratt's life and work explores the complex issues of gender, feminism, and realism in Canadian art, resulting in a richly layered biography of an artist who redefined the visual culture of her period and whose art and life intersect in varied and surprising ways.
