Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. Alex Colville (illustrateur). 1st Edition. Tom Smart; Alex Colville: Return; Douglas & McIntyre, Vancouver/Toronto; Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, Goose Lane Editions, Fredericton 2003. Signed by both Colville and Smart. Born in 1920 in Toronto, Ontario, Colville moved with his family at age seven to St. Catharines, and then to Amherst, Nova Scotia in 1929. He attended Mount Allison University from 1938 to 1942, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. He married Rhoda Wright in 1942 and enlisted in the Canadian Army in the infantry, eventually earning the rank of lieutenant. He took part in the Royal Canadian Navy's landings in southern France. He was then attached to the 3rd Canadian Division. In the army for two years, and because he was a fine-arts student, he was made a war artist in May 1944. Colville returned to New Brunswick after the war and became a faculty member with the Fine Arts Department at Mount Allison University. In 1973, he moved his family to his wife's hometown of Wolfville, where they lived and worked in the house that her father built and in which she was born. Alex Colville's work is found in many collections including the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the Centre National d'Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne and the Kestnergesellschaft in Hanover, Germany. Tom Smart is the executive director and CEO of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario. This large format book, 144 pages measuring 240mm X 270mm, is fine condition. The dust jacket is also in fine condition and is now in a protective mylar wrap. The book is well illustrated with colour and black & white reproductions of the artist's work. A cornerstone book on this Nova Scotian artist written by one of the foremost experts on Canadian art in Canada. This large and heavy book may require additional postage. Signed by Author(s).
