Add to basketPaperback. This beautifully crafted collection showcases Foxs artworks created over decades from his beloved Venice the Paradise of Cities. Accompanying an exhibition at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery opening in July 2025, the volume shows the artists evolution from painting the heart of Venice to painting views of canals and squares in less familiar parts of the city. Foxs watercolours and pencil drawings record a half-century of exploration and observation of the places that fascinated him. He returned to Venice again and again, at least once each year from the mid-1970s until 2008. Venetian colour and light were inspirational sources for all of his painting abstract and representational images alike and his approach was explicitly enhanced by the Venetian masters who revolutionized the act of laying paint on the canvas. John Fox: A Painter in Venice | Un peintre a Venise features over 75 reproductions of his Venetian paintings, drawings, and watercolours, and three essays about Foxs remarkable career by Victoria LeBlanc, John Leroux, and Sandra Paikowsky that explore his time in the city, his devotion to the authenticity of Venices lesser-known neighbourhoods, and his very personal exploration of Venetian art and architecture. Ce recueil ouvre une perspective fascinante sur le legs visuel de lartiste canadien John Fox (1927-2008) grace a un magnifique agencement doeuvres creees a Venise, ce paradis des villes , que Fox aura frequente pendant des decennies. Louvrage accompagne une exposition que presentera le Musee des Beaux-Arts Beaverbrook en 2025. Il montre levolution de lartiste qui, apres avoir privilegie le coeur de la ville, a peint des vues de canaux et de places bien moins connus.

Ce recueil ouvre une perspective fascinante sur le legs visuel de l'artiste canadien John Fox (1927-2008) grâce à un magnifique agencement d'oeuvres créées à Venise, ce « paradis des villes », que Fox aura fréquenté pendant des décennies. L'ouvrage accompagne une exposition que présentera le Musée des Beaux-Arts Beaverbrook en 2025. Il montre l'évolution de l'artiste qui, après avoir privilégié le coeur de la ville, a peint des vues de canaux et de places bien moins connus.
Les aquarelles et les carnets de croquis au crayon de l'artiste, nombreux, rendent compte d'un demi-siècle d'exploration et d'observation de lieux qui le captivaient.
