| Summary: | This lavishly illustrated publication constitutes a ground-breaking statement on the presence, nature and meaning of non-representational painting in New Brunswick. In most authoritative narratives of the visual arts in Canada, developments in the artistic life in the province are often pushed to the historical margins or even absent, in favour of reinforcing the same identifiable names, movements and styles. In reality, however, the story of the visual arts in Canada is infinitely richer and more complex than most cursory discourses tell us. As this publication ably reveals, there is a unique history of abstract painting in New Brunswick that has, until now, never been told. And it is one that can only deepen our understanding and appreciation of Canadian visual arts culture. 0The artists featured include senior, mid-career, and emerging artists: Jared Betts, David Bizzo, Sarah Cale, Luc Charette, Lionel Cormier, Mark DeLong, Angel Gomez, Georges Goguen, Toby Graser, Jay Isaac, Jocelyn Jean, Christian Michaud, Deanna Musgrave, Dana O#x92;Regan, Sarah Petite, Lori Slauenwhite, and David Umholtz. Also highlighted is a selection of non-figurative art by some of the province#x92;s pioneering abstract painters, most notably Jack Humphrey, Lawren P. Harris, Fritz Brandtner, Claude Roussel, Joseph Kashetsky, and Roméo Savoie, and the surprising recovery of R. D. Turnbull, one of Canada#x92;s earliest abstractionists, who made a significant contribution to the development of Abstract Expressionism in North America, but is virtually unknown in the annals of Canadian art history. In English and French. 00Exhibition: Beaverbrook Art Gallery, Fredericton, Canada (26.06-14.09.2014). |
