Synopsis
Alex Colville was a Canadian war artist during World War II - and one of three painters admitted to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp as it was being liberated. To express the unimaginable chaos, Colville sought order, which he found in an artistic style defined as magic realism. In the shadow of September 11, and in the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Colville's art resonates with a renewed urgency and potency. His work contains complexly coded images that help bring order, coherence, and closure to the disorder and chaos of trauma. Beginning with Embarkation (1994), Alex Colville: Return showcases his paintings and prints from the last 10 years. More than a stunning collection of work by one of Canada's premier artists, the book suggests that the creative process is a personal mode of witnessing and a powerful tool for healing.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. Tom Smart; Alex Colville: Return; Douglas & McIntyre, Vancouver/Toronto/Berkeley; Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, 2003. 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 will require additional postage. N° de réf. du vendeur 1926
