A largely self-taught painter who went on to exhibit to critical acclaim for over 50 years, he maintained a fierce independence in the face of the many schools and movements that marked the early years of abstract art. Citing his greatest influences as the European Piet Mondrian and the American Jackson Pollock, Guido Molinari produced works that perhaps only a Montreal artist could have created at that time. This substantial monograph provides a first-ever overview of the artist and his work.

En écho à cette vague, entendre cette déferlante, qui bouscule les protocoles identitaires, les Fermières Obsédées sont de ces artistes qui font tout pour se faire voir. Usant de clichés féminins que constitueraient le rouge vif des lèvres, les chaussures à talon et la jupe qui laisse bien voir les jambes, les Fermières Obsédées sont à longue distance d’une représentation qui prendrait la voie de la séduction. Ou alors, elles nous séduisent par la délinquance mise en œuvre pour vandaliser ce qui, du féminin, se logerait du côté de la grâce. Se faisant reines ou stars, elles n’en adoptent pas pour autant les comportements et les « apparats », bien loin qu’elles sont de ce qui codifie le statut de ces femmes. Sans être masculines pour autant, elles se rapprochent davantage de l’enterrement de vie de garçon que du défilé de la duchesse. Les performances des Fermières adoptent ce rythme qui les emporte dans la démesure. Incluant un DVD.

Summary:
Qui était Zacharie Vincent, aussi connu, à l’époque, sous le nom de Tehariolin? Peu de gens le savent. Il s’agit pourtant d’une figure incontournable, considérée comme le premier peintre autochtone moderne. Le présent ouvrage, signé par l’historienne de l’art Louise Vigneault, lève donc le voile sur ce peintre et chef de guerre wendat, longtemps tombé dans l’oubli, qui a considérablement marqué le 19e siècle. Zacharie Vincent (1815-1886) a suscité la fascination, avec ses allures d’artiste bohème, sa dégaine de clochard mêlée à ses ornements d’apparat, la singularité de ses autoportraits. La légende entourant celui que l’on appelait le « dernier des Hurons » a attiré les regards sur la petite communauté de la Jeune-Lorette (aujourd’hui Wendake), pour ensuite révéler la fierté et la résilience du peuple wendat. Des peintres canadiens, tels Antoine Plamondon et Eugène Hamel, ont réalisé des portraits de Vincent, puis des photographes comme Louis-Prudent Vallée ont immortalisé son image.

This 768-page volume stands as the most comprehensive source on the Canadian collective General Idea, founded in Toronto in 1969 by Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson and active until the deaths of Partz and Zontal in 1994. The book is arranged in three parts: Performances and Actions, In the Streets and In the Showroom. The first two parts focus on ephemeral, time-based and even disposable works. The third part includes a plate section offering a near-complete visual survey of General Idea's practice. Facing-page comparative images show works as they appeared in historical installations or other relevant contexts. These three sections correspond broadly to the collective’s development: from performances, actions, pageants and other practices (1969–78), through works engaging with mass-media formats such as the magazine, television and video (1972–’80s), and finally to works conceived for galleries and museums (1985–94). The publication features a prologue by AA Bronson, a conversation between him and Beatrix Ruf, and new texts by international scholars. The appendix includes a complete scholarly bibliography, exhibition and performance histories, and an illustrated chronology of the group.
