Product Description

Review

Gorgeous colour plates in a spacious layout make this a deluxe volume rarely equaled in the field of Canadian art books. (Robert Amos Victoria Times Colonist 20081231)

A remarkable achievement. (David Silcox, President, Sotheby's Canada; author of The Group of Seven and Tom Thom 20081201)

A pioneering book ...will provide inspiration to historians, who by and large, have neglected the work of Canadian women artists. (Guy Wildenstein, The Wildenstein Institute, Paris 20081213)

Extraordinary... rigorously researched, beautifully annotated, and a splendid contribution to a rich and largely unexplored part of Canada's visual heritage. (Shirley Thomson, former Director, National Gallery of Canada 200902)

The author is to be admired for his passion, dedication, and readiness to break new ground. (David Thomson, Chairman, Thomson Reuters Corporation )

A celebration of Canada's greatest female artists is a wonderful thing, and for that alone, this book is a necessity. (Andrea Carson, writer, blogger View on Canadian Art Quill & Quire )

A much-needed tome... As generally aimed as this book might be, it offers much to surprise even fully fledged arterati. (Leah Sandals, associate editor, Canadian Art Online, arts contributor to NOW The Globe and Mail )

It is enlightening and gratifying to be introduced to [these] artists... A fresh visual feast and an invaluable biographical treasury. (Booklist )

A most welcome addition to the library of any art enthusiast and is a compelling enticement to become one. (Susan MacAlpine Foshay Atlantic Books Today (Halifax NS) )

Splendidly produced.... What Prakash modestly offers as an exploratory start is both a comprehensive reference work and a delightful read. (M. Yacovar, emeritus, University of Calgary Choice )

This is an absolutely stunning book, reproduced with dozens of glorious paintings. But it is also a very valuable book. (Nick Martin Winnipeg Free Press )

What a wonderful book...This is both a useful reference and an entertaining book to browse and read through. (Johanna Bailey and Gloria Hildebrandt Escarpment Views )

The book provides a valuable service by reproducing paintings that largely remain in private hands. (Victor Swoboda Montreal Gazette )

Recommended for public and academic libraries with large art collections and libraries with women's studies collections. (Valerie Nye, College of Santa Fe, New Mexico Library Journal Xpress )

This a good place to start reclaiming the female Canadian artists who have been unjustly neglected far too long. (Robert Reid Guelph Mercury )

[An] impressive volume...in an oversized format filled with full-page color plates of excellent quality. (Book News Inc. )

Review

An extraordinary piece of work, rigorously researched, beautifully annotated, and a splendid contribution to a rich and largely unexplored part of Canada's visual heritage (Shirley Thomson, former Director, National Gallery of Canada 20090502)
