It's a rather interesting book that is not about doing art, but about seeing what Canadian artists have done. It's a walk through history from First Peoples through to the 1990's.
Types of art as well as individual artists are discussed. I was pleased to find Homer Watson discussed, as I've been to the gallery they have set up in his honour in Kitchener.
It's a great book full of facts and interesting tidbits. Pictures and text laid out well to help the reader understand the history of art in Canada. The artists mentioned span the forms that art can take from photographers, painters, sculptors and more.

I bet this is one fascinating book. I love seeing books on art history that focus on a particular theme or area. How neat.
