>Ronsdale Press announces the publication of an important art book (large
format), offering a "life in art" of west-coast painter Pnina Granirer --
with over 100 full-colour reproductions of her paintings and another 100 in
black and white.
>
>In PNINA GRANIRER: PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST Ted Lindberg captures the
development in life and art of one of Canada's finest painters. Over the
past 40 years Pnina Granirer has been exploring and extending her perception
of the world around us with exuberantly colourful and formally innovative
paintings and prints. In this large-format art book, Lindberg analyzes
Granirer's art from her early years in Romania through her student drawings
in Israel to her mature works in Canada. He offers detailed accounts of the
major thematic developments: the Childhood Magic Series, the West Coast
Suite, the Carved Stones Series, the Trials of Eve Suite and the Eden
Series. Lindberg also reveals how Granirer's recent work successfully
challenges the age old nature/culture dichotomy and re-configures the vision
of the artist to include Woman in all her many guises. Lavishly illustrated,
PNINA GRANIRER: PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST contains over 200 reproductions of her
finest paintings, with over 100 in museum-quality colour. A special section
is devoted to her work as a printmaker. The book also provides an extensive
bibliography, listing Granirer's artistic activities, her exhibitions,
collections and commissions -- including her recent 40-year retrospective at
the Richmond Art Gallery.
