Everything a Canadian could want in an art book ... An excellent read and a feast to look at.--Robert Amos"Victoria Times-Colonist" (12/02/2001)
Kurzbeschreibung
Tom Thomson did it better than anyone else. He stands as the most important artist in Canadian history. A forerunner of The Group of Seven, Thomson created paintings that shaped the way Canadians view their land.<P>The mystery of his death continues to stir speculation and spin off theories, but the emotional response to his paintings is stronger than ever.<P>Although he died before he was forty, Thomson's compelling works ignited a powerful national art movement and create lasting icons for a young country.<P>Tom Thomson: The Silence and the Storm contains the most extensive collection of his work ever published, 177 paintings in vivid color and many more in black and white. Nearly 80 of his brilliant sketches are reproduced to their actual size, giving them an immediacy almost equal to the originals. This is the only book that reproduces over 140 paintings that had never been reproduced in color before.<P>The accompanying texts, by artist Harold Town (1924-1990) and art historian David P. Silcox, provide an aesthetic commentary and full biographical chronicle.<P>This special 25th Anniversary edition of Tom Thomson: The Silence and the Storm marks the 125th Anniversary of the birth of Canada's most popular and beloved artist and the 85th anniversary of his death.

Shortcomings in the colour printing?
21. Januar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
According to the flyleaf this is the most extensive collection of the artists works, published on the occasion of the centenary of Thomson's birth. Through eight chapters the accessible and very readable text by art historian David P Silcox provides a critical commentary along with biographical details. The book includes a separate chronology, bibliography and an index of illustrations.
The book is very well illustrated with 177 paintings shown in full colour, many of them to the same dimensions as the original. The pictures run with the text so they are close to where they are discussed. The captions to the pictures provide only the title, the full captions are listed separately at the back of the book. In addition there are nearly 60 black and white images including paintings and period photographs.
This is a substantial book, large in size and landscape in format, and printed on heavy stock. However there are some shortcomings, mainly due to the quality of the printing; the black and white half-tones are soft and very dense, and lack detail in the dark areas, and while the colour plate are much crisper they too suffer from a lack of detail in the dark areas, and they appear to have a cream cast to them (I have not been fortunate to see the originals and base this on a comparison with Tom Thomson and The Group of Seven and Tom Thomson, which appears to be much better produced books). These are common failings with some printing of the period (1977).
It is a shame that the quality of the printing is questionable here, for there is so much to be said for having so many paintings reproduced life size.
