Anka Muhlstein

Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) occupied a central place in the art world of his time: a founding member of the new French school of painting, Impressionism, he attracted Monet, Renoir, Sisley, Degas, Berthe Morisot, and later Cézanne and Gauguin. Supported throughout his career, despite the hostility of the public, by the great Parisian art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel, he had a persistent feeling of being apart, different, and difficult to classify. Settling in France at the age of twenty-five but born in the Danish West Indies, he was not French and, moreover, he was Jewish. He never hid this fact and knew that it was not insignificant in French society, which was shaken at the end of the 19th century by the defeat of 1870, workers' struggles, and the Dreyfus affair. His two passions were painting and the artistic education of his children. Thanks to his astonishing energy and availability, he never sacrificed one for the other, and his five sons became painters themselves. Drawing on Pissarro's considerable body of work and a vast collection of letters that reveal his warm nature and great freedom of thought, Anka Muhlstein paints a nuanced and intimate portrait of an artist with an independent and singular spirit.

Leslie Boyd

Kenojuak Ashevak was a matriarch of modern Inuit art. Raised on the land in an isolated Arctic community, she went on to break artistic gender barriers, set sales records, and lead her people through profound social change. Kenojuak created complex, rich images with intertwining, overlapping, and flowing forms. She was innovative, with an intuitive sense of composition and an instinct for depicting the interconnectedness of all living things. She lived a life of resilience through personal tragedy, and she created beauty and joy through her prolific art. Kenojuak Ashevak: Life and Legacy is the companion to the travelling exhibition of the same name, presenting dozens of Kenojuak’s prints side by side with their original drawings. In English, French, and Inuktitut, a foreword by Kenojuak’s daughter Silaqi Ashevak introduces readers to life with her famous mother, and an essay by curator Leslie Boyd provides a full, touching history of this pioneering artist of the Far North.

Ian M. Thom

Remarkable paintings grace the pages of Maria Chapdelaine, a novel written by a Frenchman yet embraced by generations of Canadian readers. Renowned Canadian artist Clarence Gagnon used a meticulous process to create 54 small paintings for Louis Hémon’s early 20th-century story set in the Quebec countryside. Gagnon’s vivid illustrations depict the strength of body and soul necessary to survive such a harsh environment. All of the Gagnon Maria Chapdelaine illustrations are reproduced in this book, with excerpts from the novel. The complete set of paintings resides in the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, where it is considered a rare treasure. Art historian and curator Ian M. Thom in his essay provides insight into Gagnon’s life and an appreciation of his art.

“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.”

Skawennati’s practice explores Indigenous futures through the lens of a Kanien'kehá:ka (Mohawk) woman and cyberpunk avatar, blending Hotinonshón:ni storytelling with digital media to create powerful, visionary narratives. Using machinimas and machinimagraphs (movies and still images made in virtual environments), sculpture, textiles and performance, she reimagines a world where Indigenous Peoples thrive. Her work transforms personal and communal hopes into new realities – spaces that empower, reclaim ways of being and challenge historical narratives.

The most comprehensive book on her career to date, Skawennati: Welcome to the Dreamhouse features vibrant reproductions of key works alongside critical essays examining her impact. The title references notions of home, a child’s dollhouse, and the longhouse – central to Hotinonshón:ni culture. The publication invites readers to explore a future where Indigenous Peoples lead and shape our collective worldview.
