      -- Nineteen twenties modernism in Montreal - The Beaver Hall Group
      By Des Rochers, Jacques  Foss, Brian  Bondil, Nathalie  Sicotte, Hélène  Trépanier, Esther, 1951-  Huneault, Kristina  Lebeau, Justine
       2015., General, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts ; Black Dog Publishing Call No: NEW 759.11 B759m    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Taking their name from the downtown street in Montreal where members shared a studio in the early 1920s, The Beaver Hall Group were early adopters of new modernistic approaches to painting and explored their potential within a variety of genres, including portrait, still life, landscape and prescient scenes of urbanity. As well as providing an artistic window into the modern lives of Canadians during this transformational period of history, as a collective The Beaver Hall Group are exceptional for their inclusion of female artists as core members. Initially comprising of both genders, the group would become an all-female collective that includes some of Canada's most celebrated modern painters. Through a series of comprehensive contextual essays The Beaver Hall Group: 1920s Modernism in Montreal interweaves the work of this pioneering artistic collective within a broader narrative of the arts in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring the groups' greater role in the modernity of Canada--and more specifically the cultural context of Montreal--the book takes on core themes such as the rise of the metropolis, juxtapositions between economic progress and cultural development, and the impact of gender on critical approaches to both artists and their work.

      -- Art masters: Basquiat
      By Voloj, Julian  Mosdal, Søren Glosimodt
       2019., SelfMadeHero Call No: NEW BLK GN Bio B317v    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Art mastersSummary Note: The dazzling, provocative work of Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) would come to define the vibrant New York art scene of the late '70s and early '80s. Punk, jazz, graffiti, hip-hop: his work drew heavily on the cultural trappings of lower Manhattan, to which he fled--from Brooklyn--at the age of 15. This stunning graphic novel captures the dramatic life and exhilarating times of this archetypal New York artist, covering everything from the SAMO graffiti project to his first solo show, from his relationship with Andy Warhol to the substance abuse that would cost him his life. Today, Basquiat's influence can be seen not only in fine art but in fashion, design, and music. Now, for the first time, his remarkable story is told in graphic novel form. This playful, authoritative biography shows Basquiat's work to be more important, his themes more urgent, than ever beforE.
