Ebook: Picturing the Land: Narrating Territories in Canadian Landscape Art, 1500-1950

The vast Canadian landscape has captured the imagination of visual artists since the first European contact. Although artistic engagement with the landscape has a long history, some periods have drawn considerable critical attention, while others have been left almost unexamined. Picturing the Land surveys work from coast to coast, from the earliest maps to postwar painting in English and French Canada, to provide a comprehensive view of Canadian landscape art.
