Examining their social, political, and economic contexts, McKay
shows how the murals of this period glorified Canada as a modern
nation state, extolled the virtues of commerce and industry,
inculcated conventions of gender and race, and shared the intensity
of nationalistic sentiment that led to the work of the more
renowned painters of Toronto's Group of Seven. Bringing together
for the first time a body of Canadian work - civic, commercial,
religious, and private - that has been largely ignored by art
historians, A National Soul challenges previous histories of
Canadian painting. This generously illustrated book reproduces
seldom-seen works from across the country, many of which have been
moved or destroyed, and includes a comprehensive listing of all
works from the period, their original and present locations, and
their state of preservation.
