Alex Colville: Paintings, Prints, and Processes, 1983-1994Thoroughly documenting the body of work created over the past decade by renowned Canadian realist Colville (b. 1920), this catalogue provides excellent full-page reproductions of 23 paintings and ten serigraphs along with illustrations of nearly 350 related preparatory drawings. Lengthy individual analyses of the painstaking composition of the featured images and their simultaneously mundane and evocative narrative content are augmented by detailed examinations of two paintings created by Colville in 1964 and 1981 and by a discussion of the central role of drawing in his working process. |
