Né en 1928 en Hongrie, Gabor Szilasi est l'un des photographes vivants les plus connus du Québec. Peu après s'être établi à Montréal en 1959, Szilasi commence à photographier les nombreux vernissages d'expositions artistiques auxquels il assiste avec sa femme, l'artiste Doreen Lindsay. Pendant plus de deux décennies, il produit de vastes archives photographiques des personnages constituant la communauté montréalaise des arts visuels, dont un certain nombre va façonner l'histoire de l'art au Canada. Prolongement d'une exposition solo des photographies de Szilasi au Musée McCord en 2017, cet ouvrage renferme trois essais, une entrevue et plus d'une centaine d'images qui saisissent, avec la franchise, la perspicacité et l'esprit caractéristiques du photographe, certains des changements radicaux qu'a connus le monde de l'art à Montréal au cours des années 1960 et 1970. La remarquable collection de travaux de Szilasi - environ 3 600 négatifs en tout - offre un rare aperçu de la vie sociale des artistes canadiens au cours d'une période de grande effervescence et de possibilités de création exceptionnelles. Gabor Szilasi : Le monde de l'art à Montréal, 1960-1980 invite à réfléchir sur les gains et les pertes réalisés depuis lors. Mises en lumière plus de cinquante ans après avoir été fixées sur pellicule, les images présentées dans ce livre révèlent la place centrale occupée par l'un des principaux photographes du Canada dans le milieu auquel il s'identifie.

Artists' Letters is a treasure trove of carefully selected letters written by great artists, providing the reader with a unique insight into their characters and a glimpse into their lives. Arranged thematically, it includes writings and musings on love, work, daily life, money, travel and the creative process. On the theme of friendship, for example, letters provide evidence of a creative community between peers, with support and mutual appreciation that helps to dispel the myth of the artist as solitary genius. Letters between Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin show an ongoing conversation and exchange of ideas. We see mutual admiration between Claude Monet and Berthe Morisot, and Picasso's quick notes to Jean Cocteau illustrate their closeness. Correspondence, some of which includes sketches and drawings, is reproduced with the transcript and some background and contextual information alongside. The book brings together a collection of treasures found in letters, which in our digital age are an increasingly lost art.

We first met The Artist in a weekly strip on 'Vice'. The emaciated part-bird, part-human's weary-but-determined attempts to break out as a fine artist captured the hearts of creatives and art-lovers who could see themselves in the absurdity of it all. Plagued by doubts and anxiety, The Artist is confronted with constant setbacks punctuated by occasional, surprising glimpses of recognition. It's cynically satirical, but far more loving and affectionate than one might expect? even when wading through the bullshit. Based on Haifisch?s own experiences as an illustrator, The Artist is a modern hero for anyone who feels broken by the art world but continues on with the Sisyphean task nonetheless.
