XXXXX is a full-colour, comprehensive survey of collages, paintings, and sketches by British artist, iconoclast, anarchist, punk, hippy, shit-stirring rebel and romantic Jamie Reid. This visual diary assembles Reid's earliest graphic ventures out of art school, raw material from his most famous works for the Sex Pistols and unseen flashes of rebellion and beauty up to the present day. In true DIY ethos, this book serves up Reid's anarchist, situationist, surrealist, dadaist and druidic influences with wild energy and no explanations; to allow the work to speak for itself, to allow readers to draw their own connections.

Frederick Horsman Varley was unique among the members of the Group of Seven. One of the greatest Canadian portraitists of the twentieth century, he is an intriguing example of an artist who, despite his fame as a portrait painter, remains better known for his landscapes. This is due mainly to his position as one of the founding members of the Group of Seven and their deliberate attempt to raise awareness of our national identity by depicting the Canadian landscape. Even though many public collections across the country, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Vancouver Art Gallery, display some of Varley’s best-known portraits, these works do not easily fit into the conventional mould of the Group of Seven. Nearly four decades after his death, Varley’s portraits are still not fully acknowledged. The release of this beautifully illustrated bilingual volume coincides with the opening of an unprecedented exhibition of his portraiture.
