Title
The History of Painting in Canada: Toward a People's Art
Abstract
A complete history of painting in Canada, from the art of the native peoples right up to the 1970's. This outstanding work explodes many myths about Canadian and Quebecois art. In easy to understand language, it explains the effect on Canadian painting of the French, British , and U.S. imperialist regimes that have ruled Canada. This book shows how art has been part of the fight against that domination. --Publisher's description
