HISTORY
 | Taming the Frontier: Art and Women in the Canadian West 1880-1920 Virginia G. Berry Virginia G. Berry brings to life the important work done by women in building the West as we know it today—urbane, sophisticated and on the move. Dr. Berry paints a fascinating portrait of a devoted and talented group of women who fostered women’s rights in the arts in the era of pioneer settlement.  |
 | A History of Art in Alberta 1905-1970 Nancy Townshend This book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive coverage of the development of art in Alberta between 1905 and 1970. Townshend carefully presents the full flowering of an authentic grassroots culture. She tells us what Alberta’s art to 1970 was rather than what it wasn’t. |

 | A Life Story: In 50 Christmas Cards 1945-2003 Warren Roy This book reproduces 50 original Christmas cards designed and printed by the author over a period of nearly six decades. The first 11 were linocuts, an art described briefly in the book. The next 25 were serigraphs or “silk-screen prints”; this graphic process is described in some detail. Nine were not produced as graphics, but were simply reproductions of the author’s paintings or drawings. The last five were computer graphics in which the author explored the advantages and limitations of this new medium. |
