In these fifteen essays we encounter artists falling in and out of love, family tragedies, the creation of the Stanley Cup, the secrets of Tiffany, Antiques Roadshow, a rootless baroness, the design craze for aluminum, small Japanese boxes called kogos, watercolour sketchbooks of the Canadian north, a beautiful prayer room in Montreal, gondolas flying through windows in Venice, and Moscovites who love Goldfinger. Pepall's stories sparkle with clarity and leave one with a sense that art is an amazing, worthwhile, occasionally mysterious human activity. Archival black and white photographs and colour plates--including Edwin Holgate's Ludivine, one of the most beloved and recognizable Canadian portraits ever painted--make this book a must-have for art lovers, students, academics, museum-goers and readers interested in the role art plays in the creation of our lives."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a Art museum curators $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Art museums $x Curatorship $v Anecdotes. 650 7 $a Art museum curators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815624 650 7 $a Art museums $x Curatorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01940967 655 7 $a Anecdotes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423876 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pepall, Rosalind M., 1947- $t Talking to a portrait. $d Montreal, Quebec : Vehicule Press, 2020 $z 9781550655476 $z 9781550655476 $w (OCoLC)1128271234 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317031849.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB703872CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
