- Abstract
- Pertains to the work of Janet Mitchell, a Canadian landscape artist born in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Despite being primarily a self-taught artist, Mitchell was able to attend the Banff School of Fine Arts for a short while on a scholarship. The publication pertains to a retrospective exhibition in which Mitchell’s inward life and outward life are both at odds, and in harmony with one another. Organized by the Glenbow-Alberta Institute, Mitchell shares the work that established her as a unique and important Canadian artist.

- Abstract
- This book explores mistikôsiwak (Wooden Boat People) by the internationally renowned artist Kent Monkman. Commissioned by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the epic diptych exhibited in The Met’s Great Hall revisits iconic works of art, notably the famed painting Washington Crossing the Delaware by Emanuel Leutze. Monkman—featured in mistikôsiwak (Wooden Boat People) as his time-travelling, shape-shifting, gender-fluid alter ego, Miss Chief Eagle Testickle—reverses the colonial gaze of American and European art history through an Indigenous lens to present a powerful vision for the future. Revision and Resistance: mistikôsiwak (Wooden Boat People) at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the definitive documentation on Monkman, his practice, and two of the most important paintings of our times.

- Abstract
- Pertains to an exhibition catalogue featuring art from 1815 through to 1965. Dr. Moncrieff Williamson selected the artwork, in addition to a more demanding task – identifying the unique qualities that separate Canadian art from the mainstream art scene. The publication offers the reader insight into the ways Canadian art has changed, and the qualities that diversifies it. The publication is divided between Eastern Canada and Western Canada as both have their own unique forms of creative expression.
