Hardback. Zustand: New. Gathie Falk: Revelations, published on the occasion of the retrospective exhibition curated by Sarah Milroy, investigates the career of a legendary Canadian artist.Gathie Falk (1928-2026) was born in Brandon, Manitoba, settling finally in Vancouver, where she established herself as one of Canada's most visionary and experimental artists. Flying horses, rows of potted conifers festooned with blossoms and ribbons, floating cabbages, piles of glossy apples, gentlemen's brogues presented in reliquary style, expanses of water, or burgeoning flower beds exploding with color-these were the manifestations of Falk's rampant imagination as she explored the disciplines of painting, ceramic, performance art and installation over the span of a half century. In all her works, effulgence and order were held in a dynamic tension as she worked through her generative themes and variations.A trailblazer on all fronts, she brought a rich sensibility to bear on her observations of the everyday, perceptions often tinged with the surreal and the uncanny. From her fruit piles to the landmark performances of her early career, to her extended pursuit of themes with variations in her painting practice -expanses of water dazzling with light, riotous flower borders set against cement sidewalks, night skies pierced by starlight or obscured by clouds-she found the wondrous in the routine world around her, pursuing her work with a modesty and diligence that reflected her Russian Mennonite heritage.The publication includes an introduction by McMichael Chief Curator Sarah Milroy, lead essay by Vancouver curator and writer Daina Augaitis (who examines her performance and installation works in a national and international context), and a host of other artists and writers, rising to the occasion of this career-spanning survey. This catalogue summarizes an extraordinary career, with full-page images of her artworks and rarely seen archival photos of the artist's studio, performance works, and Falk herself.For more than sixty years, Falk generated work of extraordinary thematic integrity and material invention. This publication illuminates those connections across disciplines, while also tracing the artist's journey from youth to old age-from the lushness of the fruit piles, with their sensuous surfaces and dazzling colors, to the sepulchral hush of the night skies.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Montreal-based painter Michael Smith is known for his fluid and impasto surfaces as well as his ability to strike a poetic balance between representation and abstraction. Inspired by art history as well as historic and current events, Smith pulls from various sources to create his energetic landscapes and seascapes. J.M.W. Turner's The Fountain of Indolence, George Chambers's depictions of 19th-century Arctic expeditions, and Jean Paul Riopelle's palette knife abstractions continually shape Smith's understanding of landscape painting, while historically focused projects push the boundaries of his subject matter. This major retrospective of Michael Smith's paintings demonstrates his ability to mix landscape with abstraction, creating fictional spaces that show how experience impacts the way we view the world. Layering landscapes and seascapes, the familiar with the unfamiliar, Smith's paintings convey (as Smith writes), "a mix of excitement and anxiety of a land, [that] although at times bucolic, is riddled with shadows." Accompanying a major exhibition organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Michael Smith: Sea of Change features 50 large-scale reproductions, an essay on Smith's trajectory as an artist by critic-curator Nancy Tousley, and an interview with the artist by John Leroux. Michael Smith's work is included in numerous public collections, including those of le Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, le Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Rideau Hall, and la Citadelle de Québec. Le peintre montréalais Michael Smith est renommé pour sa touche fluide et ses empâtements, ainsi que pour sa capacité à atteindre un équilibre riche en poésie entre la représentation et l'abstraction. Puisant son inspiration tant dans l'histoire de l'art que dans les événements du passé ou d'aujourd'hui, il utilise une multitude de sources pour créer ses marines et ses paysages agités. The Fountain of Indolence de J.M.W. Turner, les représentations d'expéditions de George Chambers dans l'Arctique au XIXe siècle ou encore les abstractions à la spatule de Jean Paul Riopelle sont autant d'ouvres qui façonnent continuellement sa compréhension de la peinture de paysage, alors que les projets ancrés dans l'histoire repoussent les limites des thèmes qu'il aborde. Cette grande rétrospective témoigne de la capacité de Michael Smith à marier paysage et abstraction pour créer des espaces fictifs qui démontrent l'incidence d'une expérience sur notre façon d'appréhender le monde. En superposant la marine et le paysage, le familier et l'inconnu, Smith exprime (comme il l'explique lui-même) « la fébrilité mêlée d'anxiété que l'on éprouve devant un paysage qui, bien que parfois bucolique, est criblé d'ombres ». Le catalogue Michael Smith : mer mouvante est publié à l'occasion d'une exposition d'envergure organisée par le Musée des beaux-arts Beaverbrook. Il comporte cinquante reproductions grand format, un texte sur le parcours artistique de Smith signé.…
