"The light in Pratt's paintings seems sentient, a living thing, a
pulsation or emission, imbuing the paintings with an erotic and
almost mystical desire." -- Canadian Art Following a stunningly
successful national touring exhibition and a sold-out hardcover
edition of the accompanying book, Mary Pratt is available once
again in this elegant paperback edition. Says the Globe and Mail,
Mary Pratt's "gorgeous, brutal vision of the world is the best
revenge against anyone who ever sought to define her." There's
something deeply resonant about Pratt's painting for contemporary
audiences -- particularly for those that are food obsessed. The
dark light of a jelly jar, the slippery weight of filleted cod, the
dark drippings of a bloody roast, the wet yellow yolk of a cracked
egg. Pratt takes these seemingly mundane subjects and fills them
with light, giving them a monumental quality, making them seem
luminous, signifiant, memorable. For many, they have become seared
into memory, iconic in the best sense of the word. Mary Pratt, a
career retrospective, features five major essays by columnist and
art critic Sarah Milroy, Catharine Mastin of the Art Gallery of
Windsor, Mireille Eagan and Caroline Stone of The Rooms Provincial
Art Gallery, Sarah Fillmore of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and
art critic and curator Ray Cronin as well as 75 colour
reproductions of Pratt's most renowned work, including Eggs in an
Egg Crate, Salmon on Saran, Eviscerated Chickens, and Cod Fillets
on Tin Foil.
