The Making of a Museum

Evan Macdonald
"A master draughtsman, artist Evan Macdonald had extraordinary facility as a painter - in oil, acrylic, tempera, and watercolour - as well as a printmaker (particularly in drypoint and mezzotint) and a book illustrator. This beautifully illustrated book chronicles Macdonald's life and work from the perspective of the artist's daughter, Flora Macdonald Spencer, whose insightful essay creates a lasting image of a great Canadian artist." "Literally hundreds of his streetscapes, landscapes, portraits, and drawings survive today in private collections across Canada. At the end of his life, Macdonald was bestowed an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University of Guelph, an acknowledgement of his artistic legacy. The painter's life is richly documented by Flora Macdonald Spencer in her poignant telling of his journey."--BOOK JACKET.
