A Concise History of Canadian Painting by Reid

This edition studies Canadian painting to 1980 in a new chapter that treats a crucial fifteen years when there developed in Canada a tremendous interest in other art forms and an apparent falling off of interest in painting. It turned out, however, that this was far from true, and Reid discusses the established artists who produced steadily throughout the period as well as new arrivals on the scene who have since joined the ranks of leading Canadian painters.
