Book Synopsis National Soul by : Marylin J. McKay

Download or read book National Soul written by Marylin J. McKay and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002-05-13 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining their social, political, and economic contexts, McKay shows how the murals of this period glorified Canada as a modern nation state, extolled the virtues of commerce and industry, inculcated conventions of gender and race, and shared the intensity of nationalistic sentiment that led to the work of the more renowned painters of Toronto's Group of Seven. Bringing together for the first time a body of Canadian work - civic, commercial, religious, and private - that has been largely ignored by art historians, A National Soul challenges previous histories of Canadian painting. This generously illustrated book reproduces seldom-seen works from across the country, many of which have been moved or destroyed, and includes a comprehensive listing of all works from the period, their original and present locations, and their state of preservation.
