Originally published by Douglas & McIntyre and the Art
Gallery of Ontario to accompany a major exhibition of Blackwood's
work in 2012, "Black Ice" is now being made available once again,
after having sold out less than a year following its first
publication.
Canadian artist David Blackwood has been telling stories about
Newfoundland in the form of epic visual narratives for the past 30
years. His stories draw on childhood memories, dreams,
superstitions, the oral tradition, and the political realities of
the community on Bonavista Bay, where he was born and raised. His
collection of works has created an iconography of Newfoudnland that
is as universal as it is personal, as mythic as it is rooted in
reality, and as timeless as it is linked to specific events.
This comprehensive and sumptuously illustrated retrospective
features over 70 prints. The book also features essays by Blackwood
himself, Michael Crummey, Sean Cadigan, and Katherarine Lochnan as
well as an essay on the environment by Martin Feely and Derek
Wilton and another on mumming by Caoimhe Ni Shuilleabhain.
This new edition of "Black Ice" is co-published with the Art
Gallery of Ontario and Douglas & McIntyre. Customers should
note that Goose Lane's territory includes Quebec, New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador as
well as Chapters/Indigo nationwide. Customers in other parts of
Canada may obtain copies from Douglas & McIntyre and its
distributor.
