Greenfield. 264 1 $a Fredericton, New Brunswick : $b Goose Lane Editions, $c 2021. 300 $a 388 pages ; $c 24 cm 520 $a "Molly Lamb and Bruno Bobak shot to prominence as war artists during the Second World War. Marrying shortly after the end of the war, they moved first to Vancouver and then, in 1960, to Fredericton, where they settled permanently. Molly's paintings were vibrant and colourful, featuring dynamic crowd scenes and wildflowers that seem to wave on the page. In contrast, Bruno painted near-abstract cityscapes, stunning landscapes, and distorted bodies wracked with inner torment that are unique in Canadian art. In this book, acclaimed author Nathan M. Greenfield brings to light the private and public lives of two of the most important figures in 20th century Canadian art. Combining archival research with Molly's diaries and letters, interviews with friends and contemporaries, and an analysis of paintings by both artists, he develops an intimate portrait of their life and art: their critical acclaim, commercial success and a turbulent marriage that lasted over fifty years -- until Bruno's death in 2012. The biography covers Bruno and Molly's artistic output, their marriage, and their wider lives. Greenfield covers their whole lives, including discussion of their work as war artists in the second world war and their later careers."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 530 $a Issued also in electronic formats. 600 10 $a Bobak, Molly Lamb, $d 1920-2014. 600 10 $a Bobak, Bruno, $d 1923-2012. 600 10 $a Bobak, Molly Lamb, $d 1920-2014 $x Marriage. 600 10 $a Bobak, Bruno, $d 1923-2012 $x Marriage. 650 0 $a Artist couples $z Fredericton $z Fredericton $v Biography. 650 0 $a War artists $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Painters $z Canada $v Biography. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Greenfield, Nathan M., 1958- $t Anything but a still life. $d Fredericton, New Brunswick : Goose Lane Editions, 2020 $z 9781773100937 $z 9781773100937 $w (OCoLC)1145168982 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211202014403.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ABC66B8625A111EC99F17AB23DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
