Description

(xii), 43 pages. "William Kurelek's paintings of Toronto not only portray a great city, but convey a powerful and prophetic vision of modern man as cynical and sympathetic; powerful yet frightened of a few dark thunder clouds; butcher, saviour and producer. The twenty-one paintings, twenty in colour, are accompanied by an introduction by James Bacque (who went on to write "Other Loses"), with expansive notes to each plate by the painter." - from dust jacket. Oblong 11.25" x 8.75". Moderate wear to clean and unmarked book. Binding intact. Above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A sound copy of this special Kurelek work. Bibliographic reference: Bishop p.1019. Book
