Michael Snow
Canadian artist Michael Snow (born 1929) has been a central figure in North American postwar art; his influential films, such as Wavelength, rank alongside those of avant-garde auteurs such as Stan Brakhage and Gregory Markopoulos. Sequencesis a complete monograph of this contemporary Renaissance man, who characterizes his oeuvre thus: "my paintings are done by a filmmaker, sculpture by a musician, films by a painter, music by a filmmaker, paintings by a sculptor, sculpture by a filmmaker, films by a musician, music by a sculptor." Accordingly, Snow's texts acknowledge the difficulties an artist faces in approaching multiple disciplines. Across 17 chapters, the artist offers a complete overview of his own work--an editorial task with which he is intimately familiar after having produced several remarkable artists' books. At almost 400 pages, this hardcover is a tour- de-force on and by one of the most outstanding artists of our time.
The Quiet Music of Gently Falling Snow

Impressionists in Winter
Impressionsts in Winter: Effets de Neige presents the first thorough investigation of the subject of Impressionist winter landscape. The subject of winter - clearly the most inhospitable season for plein-air painting - provides some of the most exceptional and most spellbindingly beautiful paintings in Impressionism. No exhibition and no publications in the literature on Impressionism have been devoted to this theme before. While such a thematic approach might seem at first blush a superficial one, the subject of this exhibition goes to the heart of one of the central issues of Impressionism, a dedication to painting specific effects of weather and light that is unprecedented in the history ...
Early Snow
Michael Snow is one of Canada?s greatest living artists, and one of the most significant figures in twentieth-century Canadian art. Despite his longstanding international acclaim, the nascent stages of Snow?s career are comparatively underexamined. 'Early Snow' focuses on the creative heights Snow had already reached by the age of thirty-three: wide-ranging achievements in painting, drawing, sculpture, foldage, cinema, and photography. Even as a young man, Snow?s catholic interests in art and literature contributed to an uncanny ability to create profoundly original works of art.00In 'Early Snow', James King ('Michael Snow: Lives and Works', ISBN 9781459741348 , Toronto: Dundurn, 2019) delves into Snow?s formative years and provides close readings of dozens of the artist?s works, placing them in the context of influences that include modern European art (Paul Klee, Ben Nicholson, Alberto Giacometti) and contemporary American art (Willem de Kooning, Conrad Marca-Relli, Donald Judd, Marcel Duchamp). The artworks featured here can be seen as a blueprint for Snow?s later career, but ultimately, King argues, the work created during this era is about transformation.

Figuring Redemption
How then can it remain objective?"--BOOK JACKET.
Michael Snow
Michael Snow is considered by peers and critics alike to be one of the world's leading experimental filmmakers and a unique multidisciplinary artist. His wide-ranging oeuvre explores the possibilities inherent in different mediums and genres, from film and video to painting, sculpture, photography, writing, and even music. This richly illustrated volume documents an exceptional retrospective exhibition, conceived jointly by Canada's Galerie de I'UQAM (Université du Québec à Montréal) and French art institution Le Fresnoy, that highlights recurrent aspects of Snow's artistic approach - the window motif as framing device, the use of opposites (inside/outside, front/back), the reflection on space and time -and presents a vigorous and insightful reappraisal of his work from the 1960s to today.
