Filled with hundreds of striking colour and black and white...

Depuis longtemps retiré de la vie politique et publique, Pierre Elliot Trudeau n'a jamais cessé pourtant de hanter tous les Canadiens. Doté d'une forte personnalité, il a souvent suscité la controverse, tout autant que l'admiration. Ni panégyrique, ni apologie, Trudeau: l'homme, l'utopie, l'histoire constitue plutôt un remarquable portrait de celui qui a été Premier ministre du Canada, de 1968 à 1979 et de 1980 à 1984. S'appuyant sur une imposante documentation, plus de 800 entrevues, faisant appel tout autant à la théorie politique qu'à la psychanalyse, les auteurs, Christina McCall, journaliste, et Stephen Clarkson, politologue, poursuivent sans relâche leur sujet pour mettre à jour, avec une acuité extraordinaire, les arcanes de l'homme et de ses relations avec le pays incertain dont il est le produit. Une biographie qui offre un point de vue lucide, et qui a remporté, dans sa version originale anglaise, le Prix du Gouverneur général, en 1990.

In May of 1999, convicted bank robber, Ty Conn, escaped from Kingston penitentiary, one of the most heavily secured correctional facilities in Canada. When the police caught up with Conn a few weeks later in a Toronto apartment, rather than facing the balance of his 47-year prison sentence, he decided to take his own life. In Who Killed Ty Conn? Linden MacIntyre and Theresa Burke, the two journalists who were on the phone with Conn just moments before his death, offer a compelling account of Conn’s tragic life and the ways in which our system failed him.

In a country that can boast nearly 50,000 artists from its prehistoric beginnings to the present, it is a daunting challenge to compile a collection of some 300 artists that reflects the depth and breadth of Canada's art heritage. Yet in Canadian Art: From Its Beginnings to 2000, author Anne Newlands does just that. Departing from the usual narrative of standard Canadian art histories, Newlands organizes the artists alphabetically, thus removing them from predictable associations and chronological relationships and freeing us to forge new connections. The result is an original and engaging approach to the subject, one that at once refreshes, surprises and teaches. When the paintings of such artists as Emily Carr, Lawren S. Harris, Cornelius Krieghoff and Horatio Walker are placed side by side with works by Kenojuak Ashevak, General Idea, Maud Lewis, Bill Reid and Jeff Wall, the diversity and wonder of the creative process come irresistibly to life.

While Canada's most beloved artists and their art are generously represented in Canadian Art, Newlands also strives to guide us to less familiar media, whose formats and themes seek to redefine art itself even as they reflect the cultural realities of the time. Here, we find not only traditional oils and watercolors but also a rich collection of sculpture, photography and installation art. Each of Newlands' beautifully printed selections is accompanied by an engaging text that focuses on the featured art, provides a brief biographical sketch of the artist and offers us an informed departure point for our own critical appreciation.
