From the Introduction by Kenneth James Hughes: Here are six monographs on six significant Manitoba artists. Apparently independent of each other, these monographs and their subjects are united in two ways: the artists know and care for each other and, along with others, in their different ways they are producing not only works of art, but a solid foundation for a viable Manitoba visual art culture also. Different as they and their works are, these artists have been among the first group of Manitoba-born artists to fight both neglect, financial impoverishment and the lure of the East and South to stay in Manitoba and pioneer the role of the full-time professional artist. In this capacity they have given expression in their art to a set of Manitoba ways of seeing. These ways of seeing are the product of the specific quality of Manitoba rural and urban experience, the Manitoba landscape (or landscapes) and light, along with socio-historical and different ethnic factors peculiar to this place. In a few words, these artists have been involved in appropriating this place and space, rural and urban. They have created art as mirrors in which Manitobans can see themselves from a variety of angles. Of course the art is not solely of local interest. While rooted in this place and space, it has implications which extend way beyond the province and Canada as a whole. For these artists have been dealing with the big questions of our time, not simply the big artistic questions, but the human ones. 1.04 kilograms unpacked -- extra postage will be requested for shipment anywhere outside the province of Manitoba!
