{"product_id":"9781459722361","title":"Canadian Art in the Twentieth Century","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCanadian Art in the Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e is a survey of the richest, most controversial and perhaps most thoroughly confusing centuries in the whole history of the visual arts in Canada - the period from 1900 to the present. Murray shows how, beginning with Tonalism at the start of the century, new directions in art emerged - starting with our early Modernists, among them Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven. Today, Modernism has lost its dominance. Artists, critics, and the public alike are confronted by a scene of unprecedented variety and complexity. Murray discusses the social and political events of the century in combination with the cultural context; movements, ideas, attitudes, and styles; the important groups in Canadian art, and major and minor artists and their works. Fully documented, well researched and written with clarity and over four hundred illustrations in both black-and-white and colour, Murray's book is essential for understanding Canadian art of this century. As an introduction, it is excellent in both its scope and intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dundurn Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47169154384112,"sku":"9781459722361","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781459722361_p0.jpg?v=1763872035","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781459722361","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
