Seller's Description:
Illustrated by Mason, Bill. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1550461419. "The culmination of a lifetime of creative work influenced by the beauty of the natural world. Known primarily for his work as a filmmaker, author and canoeist, Bill Mason (1929-1988) spent a lifetime sketching and painting the rivers, lakes, waterfalls, marshlands, cliffs and campsites that he loved. They appear here [in colour] in all weather, in all seasons. Most of the paintings featured in this book are impressionistic, some are realistic; in each painting, Mason sought to create images that would reveal new insights with repeat viewing. These extraordinarily complex works are the more remarkable for their size-often a few square inches-and for the unusual painting technique employed by the artist. Mason's use of oil on paper, applied almost exclusivly with a palette knife, brought a three-dimensional quality to these paintings and demanded a spontaneity that brush and canvas do not. His unique method and materials allowed him to paint in the remotest wilderness. This retrospective collection is a fitting tribute to one of Canada's most beloved artists and naturalists."-dust jacket. 160 pages. Printed upon glossy stock with colour reproductions of Mason's works on every second page. Book clean, bright and unmarked with light wear. Average wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy of this beautiful work. Oblong 27.4 x 26cm; Color Illustrations; 4to.
