Book Description
David Milne (1882-1953) has long been recognized as one of Canada's most innovative painters. Although major exhibitions have been devoted to his paintings and prints, his brilliant watercolours, arguably his most beautiful and important works, have never before been revealed in depth. This lavishly illustrated book, which features essays and an annotated chronology by six Milne experts who consider the artist from international and Canadian perspectives, will accompany the first major exhibition of his work in any medium to travel outside Canada. Contributors to the book include: John O'Brian, Dennis Reid, David P. Silcox, Rosemarie LeSueur Tovell and Carol Troyen. This book was published in partnership with the Art Gallery of Ontario.

Book Description
This beautifully illustrated book documents the life and work of David Milne (1882-1953), one of Canada's greatest modern painters whose vast body of work shows him to be an artist of true originality and vision. Like the members of the Group of Seven, Milne primarily chose landscape as his subject matter. However, his true subject was the process of perception and representation, reducing his painting to its essentials and infusing it with his own distinctive modern sensibility. The book presents an account of one man's spiritual and emotional voyage into modernity - from the bustling sidewalks of New York to the war-torn landscapes of northern France and back to rural Canada. With more than one hundred works in oil and watercolour, this publication provides an appreciation of one of Canada's most sophisticated modern painters.

Book Description
This beautifully illustrated volume explores the range, depth, and visual poetry of Tom Forrestall’s work as a painter of magical realism. It explores the development of his characteristic style and the genesis of his shaped paintings, the origins, limitations, and use of his egg tempera technique, and Forrestall's choice of subject matter and its relationship to defining a poetry of place. Curator and critic Tom Smart also examines the artist’s spirituality as expressed directly and symbolically in his imagery, the relationship between his sketchbooks, personal written reflections, and paintings, and how Forrestall's art relates to analogous contemporary movements in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Historical facts, critical opinions, anecdotes, artist writings and statements, and Tom Smart’s own analysis of the works are combined in a book that illuminates the artist’s work for readers while also providing the contexts needed to appreciate it.

Book Description
Andrew Cranston once described himself as a storyteller of sorts, though without a clear story to tell. He draws on a variety of sources including personal recollections – family histories; his circuitous route to art school via an initial, unsuccessful, foray into carpentry; and his 25-year association as both student and lecturer at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen. Interwoven with passages culled from literature, anecdotes, jokes, and images from cinema these elements combine to make his idiosyncratic, intimate, and often dream-like, paintings. But the dream had no sound is the largest exhibition of Andrew Cranston’s work to date. It is accompanied by a 164pp publication, available for purchase, featuring an interview between the artist and his friend and colleague, painter Peter Doig. The book also includes over 60 illustrations - each with notes written by the artist - revealing the thoughts and associations that emerge in the process of making a painting.--Ingleby Gallery website.
