OUT OF STOCK Marsden Hartley and Nova Scotia This book brings together for the first time Hartley’s paintings, drawings, poetry, letters and journal entries. The artist’s renditions of the “simple piety and archaic beauty” of Nova Scotia fishermen, their isolated existence and dangerous occupation, bring new dimensions to the understanding of his art. The spirit behind his later work is most poignantly revealed in “Cleophas and His Own,” written in Nova Scotia in the fall of 1936, in which the artist expresses his immense grief at the tragic drowning of the Mason‘s sons. This material is supplemented by two critical essays: “Marsden Hartley’s Search for the Father(land)” by Ronald Paulson and “Cleophas and His Own: The Making of a Narrative” by Gail R Scott. PAINTING/WRITING 1987, 7 x 9 inches, 181 pp, 87 b&w and 6 color illus Softcover, ISBN 0-919616-32-1 code: nova mar I-3

OUT OF STOCK Paul-Émile Borduas: Écrits/Writings 1942-1958 This volume provides the Anglophone reader for the first time with the writings of Paul-Émile Borduas in a French original and English translation version. Borduas, a painter from Montreal who is considered one of the most vital figures of painting in the ’40s and ’50s in Canada, has been an equally industrious writer of manifestoes and pamphlets. The "Refus Global", which caused his dismissal from a professorial position in Montreal and his emigration to New York, is here published for the first time in a facsimile version of the original and in English translation. The writings represent an interesting and valuable source of North American art history: the reception of surrealism, the antagonism and transition from Ecole de Paris dominance to New York School painting, seen through a Canadian artist's mind. Closes to both historical and cultural situations, Borduas considers the problem of separatism as a general political problem of Canada and regionalism as a specific artist’s problem occurring in all parts of the world. PAINTING 1978, 7 x 11 inches, 160 pp, 21 b&w illustrations and plates Softcover, ISBN 0919616143 code: nova ecr I-3

OUT OF STOCK In This Place: Black Art in Nova Scotia In This Place: Black Art in Nova Scotia was the first comprehensive exhibition to represent and contextualize the tradition of Black Nova Scotian art-making in the province. The publication of the same name documents the interdisciplinary exhibition that featured the work of 50 artists dating back to 1885. The curators, David Woods and Dr. Harold Pearse, provide both a retrospective—using older works that were important in the development of Black Nova Scotian art; as well as a contemporary view—looking at the current works that make up the art practice of the Black community. PAINTING/SCULPTURE/TEXTILE 2001, 8 x 11 inches, 48 pp, 35 b&w and 4 color illus Softcover, ISBN 0-920149-16-2 code: nova pla I-3
