Beau Dick
This is a stunning tribute to the art and life of Beau Dick, Kwakwaka'wakw artist, activist and teacher. It presents eighty of the artist's finest masks and contextualizes his work within the Kwakwaka'wakw tradition, while also showing how Dick incorporated contemporary Western influences. Residence: Whistler, B.C.
George Paginton
A beautiful and long-overdue portrait of a great, but little known, painter of the vast Canadian natural and urban landscape. George Paginton: Painting a Nation explores the journey of a relatively unknown Canadian landscape painter who was a peer of members of the Group of Seven. Paginton's private passion was to document the wonder of nature from coast to coast. A prolific artist, Paginton created over 1500 oil paintings, the majority of which never exhibited or sold commercially. This publication aims to present the artist to Canadians and include him in the art historical cannon of the nation.

The Solitudes of Place
Since 1960, drawing has been the sole form of expression of British Columbia-based artist Ann Kipling. This publication chronicles one calendar year (2009) during which time Kipling produced 141 drawings, each magnificently illustrated here. While Kipling's work is centred upon the outdoors, "landscape" is not a word that can be easily used to describe her work. Robin Laurence examines Kipling's attentiveness to the environment that recalls Chinese landscape painting and calligraphy. Darrin Martens pursues the philosophical investigation with a call to look beyond representation to a process that embodies the very act of creation. Rosemarie Tovell explores Kipling's practice as a draftsperson, situating it within the historical and aesthetic context of an often misunderstood discipline.
Robert Young
With drawings, watercolours and studies for paintings from 1981 to the present, this publication fills a gap in Canadian art history.

Marianna Schmidt
''Marianna Schmidt (1918-2005) was an accomplished neo-expressionist artist who, after having fled Hungary during the war and living in displaced persons camps throughout Europe, lived and worked in Vancouver from the 1950s until her death. The enormous scope of her practice - prints, drawings, paintings and collages - is unified by recurrent themes of alienation and dislocation, with twisted and fragmented figures stranded against featureless grounds and generic landscapes. This first retrospective monograph accompanies three concurrent exhibitions and is the result of a concerted effort on the part of the Evergreen Cultural Centre, Simon Fraser University Art Gallery and Burnaby Art Gallery. Works from public and private collections are augmented by pieces from Stedelijk Museum voor Actuele Kunst (Museum for Contemporary Art) in Ghent, Belgium which has extensive holdings. Three essays, a biography and a bibliography honour a singular career, placing it within the context of Schmidt's life and times''--
