This magnificent hardcover publication commemorates 150 years of Confederation with a selection of 150 works of art made in Canada, drawn mainly from the Gallery's remarkable collection from the late seventeenth century to the present day. In his candid discussion, NGC Director Marc Mayer offers a fresh perspective on how art reflects our shared history while helping to articulate Canada's identity. Mayer traces our cultural development in the years since Confederation, while raising provocative questions about the role of the country. Also included is a brief history of the NGC written by Katherine Stauble. Featuring 150 stunning, full-colour plates, Art in Canada is a must-have for any art lover.
