Description
Painters Eleven is the Twenty-fifth Anniversary exhibition of the first abstract painting group of Ontario. Among the eleven artists represented are Jack Bush, Jock Macdonald, Ray Mead, Kazuo Nakamura, William Ronald and Harold Town, as well as Alexandra Luke who was instrumental in organizing the group. The essay in this comprehensive catalogue spans the group's history from its formation in 1953 to the decision to disband in 1960, and provides an excellent profile of the radical Canadian abstract movement. This limited edition (signed by artists) catalogue is accompanied by a signed print by Ray Mead. Exhibition history by Jennifer C. Watson.
