Publisher description
This volume argues that the work of these writers has been shaped by
Ontario painting, which was, until the mid-1960s, the province's pre-eminent
art form. The three introductory chapters situate the five writers in the
context of contemporary Ontario culture, blurring the boundaries between
disciplines. This is a direct contrast to the dominant critical approach, which
has been to place Ontario (and other Canadian) art in a national, mythic, and
disciplinary context. The volume includes chapters providing relevant
background about Northrop Frye and Ontario historians, as well as Ontario
visual artists. This study will also interest scholars of cultural history and
interdisciplinary studies. This volume argues that the work of these writers has been shaped by
Ontario painting, which was, until the mid-1960s, the province's pre-eminent
art form.
