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.

Why the Girl Became a Cat
Author: Shanna Forrestall
Publisher: Why the Girl
ISBN: 9780578542737
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 30
Book Description
Why the Girl Became a Cat is more than a children's book, it's a story about inclusion, empowerment and finding your purpose. It reminds each one of us that we are worthy and brave, and that our 'divers-abilities' are our strength. This book is for anyone who wants to unashamedly do what they want to do, be who they want to be, and have what they want to have. In 2018 storyteller Shanna Forrestall had an idea for a children's book about a little girl and her cat. Despite telling stories using a variety of mediums over the years, this was one story she couldn't tell on her own. She couldn't draw. Passionate about everyone finding their life's purpose - and ensuring no-one is limited by gender, race, disability or whatever - the search began for an illustrator. Matthew DeGuia is a young man on the autism spectrum, who's overcome his own challenges and along with Shanna, helped bring this powerful book to life. The story behind the story encourages the reader to go beyond social rules and norms and spark a dialogue about what it truly means to be brave, bold and beautiful. It's a delightful message that emboldens us to follow our hearts and not let others dictate who we are.

Art and Rivalry
Author: Carol Bishop-Gwyn
Publisher: Knopf Canada
ISBN: 0345808428
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
The unauthorized biography of Canada's most famous artist couple and the rivalry that drove them. She painted as if with pure light, radiant colours making quotidian kitchen scenes come alive with sublimated drama. He painted like clockwork, each stroke precise and measured with exquisite care, leaving no angle unchecked and no subtlety of tone unattended. Some would say Mary Pratt was fire and Christopher, ice. And yet Newfoundland's Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera (or Jackson Pollack and Lee Krasner...) presented their marriage as a portrait of harmony and balance. But balance off the canvas rarely makes great art, and the Pratts' art was spectacular. As a youth at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Mary pursued her future husband, a prodigious art talent, and supported his determination to study painting instead of medicine. They married and removed themselves to a Newfoundland outport where his painting alone provided the means to raise a family. But as Mary's own talents became evident and she sought her own hours at the easel, when not raising their four children, and as rumours of Christopher's affair with a young model spread, the Pratts' harmonious exterior slowly cracked, to scandal in Newfoundland and fascination across the country. A marriage ended, and gave way to a furious competition for dominance in Canadian art.
