Kinsella, W. P.; Allen Sapp (1928-2015)

Two Spirits Soar: The Art of Allen Sapp; the Inspiration of Allan Gonor [Signed by Allen Sapp]

Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Stoddart Publishing Co. Limited, 1990. First Edition. Hardcover. pp. 134. Oblong 4to. measuring 24 x 31 cm. Publisher's navy-blue boards with silver lettering to the spine. Richly illustrated with many full-colour plates. Light bump to the head of spine, else, near fine. Contents without blemish with firm, sound binding; near fine and housed in original, unclipped, lightly rubbed dustjacket. Overall, very good+. SIGNED in ink by Sapp to the title page. Two Spirits Soar celebrates the distinctive talent of the Canadian painter Allen Sapp, a Cree from Saskatchewan, and his relationship with Dr. Allan Gonor, mentor and friend. Sapp specializes in paintings depicting native life as he remembers it on the Red Pheasant Reserve near North Battleford, with subjects ranging from social activities and farming chores to full-dress ceremonies. These remarkable examples of Canadian art might never have existed were it not for Dr. Gonor, a man of uncommon insight who early recognized Sapp's ability and encouraged him to paint from his own experience rather than trying to copy other artists' modes of expression. Sapp's career flourished after Gonor's excellent advice and support in the generous style of the traditional artist's patron. The result: finely detailed paintings richly evocative of life in a close-knit community, full of warmth and nostalgia. In the text, W.P. Kinsella, a fiction writer well known for his attraction to native Canadian subjects, compares his own passion for writing, as he was growing up, with Sapp's similar youthful dedication to art. Kinsella then explores the productive relationship between Sapp and Gonor to provide a very satisfying picture of this unique and important painter's life and work".

Kuehl, Gerald (Illust.)

Portraits of the North

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Les Éditions des Plaines Book Publishers & VIDACOM, 2018. First Edition. Softcover. pp. 236. Square 4to. Pictorial covers. Richly illustrated with full-page portrait illustration, printed on recto, accompanied with a biography printed on versos. Bright, clean, and unmarked. Appears unread; as new. This gorgeous book offers an incomparable glimpse into the experiences and history of more than one hundred First Nations and Métis elders from Canada’s North —“the last generation born on the land.” These stunning graphite pencil portraits are rendered with love, respect, and painstaking detail, along with gripping intimate profiles assembled from oral accounts and anecdotes. Their poignant facial features, lines, and creases, weathered by the harsh outdoors and a lifetime of challenges, are like badges of their remarkable achievements, sustained resolve, inspired patience, and deep-set defiance to the hardships their people have endured for generations. The masterful realism of Kuehl’s work helps uncover the tales of these seasoned individuals—their many triumphs and trials revealing in turn a greater portrait of life in the communities of Northern Canada, a compelling homage, and an enduring historical legacy. The portraits capture images of Cree, Ojibway, Oji-Cree, Dene and Metis peoples." .

Appears unread; as new. Chaque titre de cette collection invite à la rencontre d'un peuple autochtone du Canada dont l'histoire et le style de vie traditionnel sont brossés par petites touches via une quinzaine de pages thématiques: Le peuple - Les habitations - Les communautés - Les vêtements - L'alimentation - Les outils, les armes et les moyens de défense - La religion - Les cérémonies et les fêtes - La langue et la tradition orale, etc. Une recette, le portrait d'un artiste contemporain, une suggestion d'activité artistique, un regard sur les résultats de fouilles archéologiques menées en sol canadien ainsi que des suggestions de lectures complémentaires et de sites Internet à visiter se greffent aux textes, qui prennent soin d'établir des parallèles avec le mode de vie des autochtones contemporains."--SDM. "Une belle ouverture sur la culture des premiers peuples, qui constituera un bon complément et/ou un outil intéressant à l'enseignement au secondaire en raison de ses textes clairs et précis. On déplore toutefois le volet iconographique constitué de photographies, d'artefacts et d'oeuvres d'art à saveur vieillotte, ainsi que la mise en page sobre et conventionnelle aux couleurs éteintes qui auraient gagné à être plus attrayants. Quant aux pistes d'exploration complémentaires, on aurait souhaité qu'elles soient entièrement en langue française."--SDM.
