Brender a Brandis Gerard
An Artist's Garden
Erin ON: Porcupine's Quill 2001 A selection of some of this Canadian artist's finely detailed and dramatic wood engravings The original engravings are hand printed on hand made paper using his own Press Here is his artistic manifesto : "The process through which I go as I create an image remains largely mysterious to me but I do know that it is far from merely registering as accurately as possible the material presented to my eye. I change many lines to satisfy my sense of design I invent textures which will I hope suggest the surfaces of the objects before me and I create systems of light and shadow that will best reveal the fragment of the world I have chosen to depict. What pleases me is that the image I offer the viewers challenges them like musicians faced with a score to engage in a creative process of their own filling out the image with remembered experience. Turning my white dots and dashes into the shimmering iridescent wings of a dragon fly -- and believing in their own conjuring -- is the necessary corollary to my process of abstraction. That people are so ready to enter into this give-and-give game fills me with wonder and gratitude." Inscription on title page in his elegant handwriting. 163p. plates plus fold-out triptych A nice gift volume. Signed by Artist. 1st Canadian Edition. Original Wraps. As New. Porcupine's Quill paperback

In 1964 a newly married Canadian couple settle into a houseboat on the Nile just below Abu Simbel.

They met on the banks of the St. Lawrence River witnessing the construction of the Seaway as it swallowed towns homes and lives. Now at the edge of another world about to be inundated in the name of progress much of what they most believe in is tested tested. When a tragic event occurs nearing the end of Avery�s time in Egypt he and Jean return to separate lives in Toronto; Avery to school to study architecture and Jean into the orbit of Lucjan a Polish �migr� artist whose haunting tales of occupied Warsaw pull her further from her husband while offering her the chance to assume her most essential life.Breathtaking vivid in its exploration of both the physical and emotional worlds of its characters intensely moving and lyrical.".

Vreeland Susan
The Forest Lover
Toronto: Viking Canada 2003 It was Emily Carr 18711945.helped blaze .a path for modern women artists. Overcoming the confines of late Victorian culture Carr became a major force in modern art. Her boldly original landscapes are praised today for capturing an untamed British Columbia -and its indigenous peoples- just before industrialization would change it forever. In her latest novel Susan Vreeland brings to life this fiercely independent and underappreciated figure. From illegal potlatches in tribal communities to prewar Paris where her art was exhibited in the famed Salon d'Automne Carr's story is as arresting as it is vibrant. Vreeland tells it with gusto and suspense giving vivid portraits of Carr and the unconventional people to whom she was inevitably drawn: Sophie a native basket maker; Harold the son of missionaries who embraces indigenous cultures; Fanny a New Zealand artist who spends a summer with Carr painting in the French countryside; and Claude a French fur trader who steals her heart. The result is a glorious novel that will appeal to lovers of art native cultures and lush historical fiction. Signed by author on title page. Signed by Author. 1st Can Ed. Hardcover. As New/As New.

Paci F. G Frank Gilbert
Black Madonna: A Novel
Ottawa: Oberon Press 1982 "The story begins with the death of Babbo whom readers will remember from "The Italians" and ends with thre death of his widow the Black Madonna. Joey and his sister are left alone. without a past or a future naked in a world to which neither of them quite belongs" Frank G. Paci is an Italian Canadian novelist .He was born in Pesaro Italy 1948 and immigrated to Canada with his parents in 1952 where they settled down in Sault Ste. Marie Ontario. In the Oxford Companion to Canadian Literature Joseph Pivato describes him as "the most important Italian-Canadian novelist writing in English both because of the number of his publications and the consistent quality of his writing".Frank Paci has demonstrated a sustained commitment to his art and a determination both to enunciate his own history and to provide a voice for those around him so often characterized by silence. In so doing he has enriched the fabric of our national literature and mapped out and testified to a previously unexpressed dimension of the culture of Sault Ste. Marie.' In 1989 he became the first writer to hold the Mariano A. Elia Chair in Italian-Canadian Studies at York University. 198p. Slight scuffing of paper wraps. .Author inscription on title page.

Lyon Annbel
The Golden Mean
Toronto: Vintage Canada 2009 On the orders of his boyhood friend now King Philip of Macedon Aristotle postpones his dreams of succeeding Plato as leader of the Academy in Athens and reluctantly arrives in the Macedonian capital of Pella to tutor the kings adolescent sons. An early illness has left one son with the intellect of a child; the other is destined for greatness but struggles between a keen mind that craves instruction and the pressures of a society that demands his prowess as a soldier. Initially Aristotle hopes for a short stay in what he considers the brutal backwater of his childhood. But as a man of relentless curiosity and reason Aristotle warms to the challenge of instructing his young charges particularly Alexander in whom he recognizes a kindred spirit an engaged questioning mind coupled with a unique sense of position and destiny. Aristotle struggles to match his ideas against the warrior culture that is Alexanders birthright. He feels that teaching this startling charming sometimes horrifying boy is a desperate necessity. And that what the boy thrown before his time onto his fathers battlefields needs most is to learn the golden mean that elusive balance between extremes that Aristotle hopes will mitigate the boys will to conquer. Aristotle struggles to inspire balance in Alexander and he finds he must also play a cat-and-mouse game of power and influence with Philip in order to manage his own ambitions. As Alexanders position as Philips heir strengthens and his victories on the battlefield mount Aristotles attempts to instruct him are honoured but increasingly unheeded. And despite several troubling incidents on the field of battle Alexander remains steadfast in his desire to further the reach of his empire to all known and unknown corners of the world rendering the intellectual pursuits Aristotle offers increasingly irrelevant. Exploring this fabled time and place Annabel Lyon tells her story in the earthy frank and perceptive voice of Aristotle himself. With sensual and muscular prose she explores how Aristotles genius touched the boy who would conquer the known world. And she reveals how we still live with the ghosts of both men. First. Hardcover. As New/As New. Vintage Canada hardcover
