Abstract
"A complete history of painting in Canada, from the art of the native peoples right up to the 1970's. This outstanding work explodes many myths about the art of our two nations, Canadian and Quebecois. In easy-to-understand language, it explains the effect on our painting of the French, British and U.S. imperialist regimes that have ruled our country. This book shows how our art has been part of the fight against that domination: it gives our art back to the people.
