Rooted in the Canadian psyche, nourished by his Ontario rural roots, Danby''s subject matter was broad and expansive, yet it was the images of Canadian landscapes and life that captured the public''s attention. \u003ci\u003eAt the Crease\u003c\/i\u003e, a 1972 egg tempera painting depicting a nameless hockey goalie viewed from ice-level, was his best-known work, and for many, it defined him as an artist.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn accomplished painter, watercolourist, printmaker, and commercial artist, Danby''s career began to unfold with a modernist narrative in the 1960s and 1970s. It intersected with the fervent nationalism expressed in the music of Ian and Sylvia Tyson, Gordon Lightfoot, and Joni Mitchell. According to art historian Patrick Hutchings, Danby''s paintings bring us face to face with a moment of our own time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKen Danby: Beyond the Crease\u003c\/i\u003e, the first major book on Ken Danby''s creative practise in two \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The book published by Goose Lane Editions is simply magnificent and for art lovers, a book you’d want in your collection.\" -- Marc Montgomery * \u003ci\u003eRadio Canada International\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"[The authors] delve deep into methods, intents and motivations behind Danby’s work, and create, ultimately, a fuller, more realized understanding and appreciation for the vision of this true Canadian original.\" -- Chris Morgan * \u003ci\u003eScene Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Goose Lane Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884835615063,"sku":"9780864929631","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ken-danby-9780864929631","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
