Book Synopsis
Inspired by the distinguished painter Paul-Émile Borduas, this collective manifesto serves as an invaluable introduction to the major figures of the Canadian avant-garde scene in the 1970s. Generously illustrated with photographs from the period, this classic text details the social and political implications of the radical art scene that led up to Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. It is a must read for anyone interested in modernism or contemporary Canadian history.
