F.H. Varley: Portraits Into The Light (Hardcover)
RETAIL PRICE: $60, MEMBERS 10% OFF, BULK 30% OFF
By Katerina Atanassova
Frederick Horsman Varley was unique among the members of the Group of Seven. One of the greatest portraitists of the twentieth century, he is an intriguing example of an artist who, despite his fame as a portrait painter, remains better known for his landscapes. This is due mainly to his position as one of the founding members of the Group of Seven and their deliberate attempt to raise awareness of our national identity by depicting the Canadian landscape.
Nearly four decades after his death, Varley’s portraits are still not fully acknowledged. The release of this beautifully illustrated, bilingual volume coincided with the opening of an unprecedented exhibition of his portraiture.

The Automatiste Revolution: Montreal, 1941-1960 (Hardcover)
RETAIL PRICE: $60, MEMBERS 10% OFF, BULK 30% OFF
By Roald Nasgaard and Ray Ellenwood
Young, multidisciplinary and innovative, Montreal's Automatistes revolutionized painting in the 1940s yet they remain largely unknown outside Canada.
The Automatiste Revolution: Montreal, 1941–1960 accompanies the first comprehensive exhibition of the Automatistes’ art to be shown in English Canada, and marks the first time ever that the group’s work will be exhibited in the United States. Eminent historian and curator Roald Nasgaard chronicles the emergence of the Automatiste form of painting, the experimentation of its practitioners and its legacy, and noted scholar Ray Ellenwood relates the group’s extraordinary accomplishments in literature, theatre and dance. Sumptuously illustrated with sixty-two full-colour paintings and twenty-one black-and-white archival images, this far-reaching introduction to the Automatistes and their work adds an important chapter to the history of Canadian art.

William Berczy: Man of Enlightenment (Hardcover)
RETAIL PRICE: $30, MEMBERS 10% OFF
By: Katerina Atanassova
Berczy is credited as a co-founder of Toronto and founder of Markham, but he also left his mark in Canadian history as a man of the arts and letters, a sensible portrait artists, daring architect and ambitious writer.
Among early Canadian portrait painters, Berczy is considered as one of the finest Pre-confederation painters. His work is a vital part of Canadian art.
This publication aims to bring William Berczy into focus by looking at the social and political dynamics of the world in which he lived, examining his formative years in Europe, his family origins, upbringing and childhood, education and training in art in Vienna, his youthful adventures across Europe and immigration to North America until his death in 1813 en route to New York. Woven into the fabric of the Eighteenth century society, his portrait paintings, miniatures, monumental works, religious works, and architectural plans and writings, complemented with excerpts from his personal letters and journals, become a true testament to the intriguing saga of his life.
