      -- 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.

      By David, Michel, 1944-
       2007., Hurtubise HMH Call No: FR Fic Dav    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Amours interdites   Volume: tome IIISummary Note: Le printemps 1967 s'annonce et avec lui souffle un vent nouveau qui fera virevolter le destin de plusieurs des habitants de Saint-Jacques-de-la-Rive. L'heure est au bouleversement des mœurs et des valeurs. Ce que l'on nommera plus tard la Révolution tranquille s'est bel et bien installée, malgré les répliques acerbes du curé Savard, à qui Étienne Fournier et les autres membres de la fabrique répondront sur le même ton. Le maire, Côme Crevier, ne sera pas en reste, incarnant dorénavant l'autorité dans son village. Alors que tous les regards sont fixés sur Montréal et son exposition universelle, les jeunes adultes des familles Veilleux, Fournier, Hamel et Tremblay sont appelés à faire des choix. Bataille de coq, déception amoureuse, emplois prometteurs, grossesse honteuse, promesse de mariage, émancipation, perte d'enfant, tous sont emportés par le tourbillon de la vie. Nostalgiques devant tous ces changements, la génération de leurs parents se réfugie dans les souvenirs. Étrangement, la relation chaotique qu'entretiennent Bertrand Tremblay et d'André Veilleux leur rappelle celle, aussi houleuse, de leurs grands-pères Eugène et Ernest.
