Product Description
The heart of Canada can be seen through the eyes of those painters who have shown us our own home life. If we seek a national identity, perhaps it can be found in the intimate glimpses of our private lives that we recognize in the art of great Canadian painters from Cornelius Krieghoff and the Group of Seven to Alex Colville and Mary Pratt. Over the years they have shown us how we appear when we are most truly ourselves, and in the process have helped to shape the way we think and feel about our country. Home Truths is a book not only for art lovers, but also for all those who seek a glimpse into what it really means to be Canadian.
