About This Item
Exhibition Catalogue. Frontispiece photo of A. J. Casson, 1958. From the Introduction: "When Alfred Joseph Casson died in 1992 Canadian art lost its connection with a man who, as an artist, designer and promoter of Canadian art, saw an unprecedented change in the way we look and think about art in this country. He was constant in his own vision of the Canadian landscape and popular with the public as a painter and, in later life, as a personality. His career spanned more than sixty years, during which period there were the inevitable artistic highs and lows. Recognition of his contribution has been sporadic and uneven. Yet, his achievements were real. Many of his paintings--Anglican Church at Magnetawan; White Pine; Mist, Rain and Sun and his various watercolours of rural Ontario towns--have become icons in Canadian art."
NOTE: The ISBN number in the book is 0-7778-7899-2 but for some reason, a combination of 2 ISBN numbers keep showing up when I hit SAVE. ?? There is now second ISBN number in the book itself.
