Keep your eyes peeled in the coming months for information on a gorgeous new art book that accompanies the Hidden Blackness exhibition 😍

Hidden Blackness: Edward Mitchell Bannister, is the first exhibition of Edward Bannister’s work presented in Canada - 124 years after the artists death.

Self-taught pastoral landscape painter, Bannister won first prize at the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia for his painting Under the Oaks (now lost), making him the first African American/Canadian to win a major American art prize. While Bannister is increasingly revered in the United States, he remains largely unknown in Canada.

Learn more about Edward Bannister in summer exhibition: Hidden Blackness: Edward Mitchell Bannister. On view until September 14, 2025 📅

We're thrilled to partner with the Beaverbrook Art Gallery to bring you John Fox: A Painter in Venice!

This beautifully crafted collection showcases Fox’s artworks created over decades from his beloved Venice — the Paradise of Cities. Accompanying an exhibition at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery open now, the volume shows the artist’s evolution from painting the heart of Venice to painting views of canals and squares in less familiar parts of the city.

Publié avec le Musée des beaux-arts Beaverbrook, nous sommes ravis d'annoncer John Fox: Un peintre à Venise!

Ce recueil ouvre une perspective fascinante sur le legs visuel de l’artiste canadien John Fox (1927-2008) grâce à un magnifique agencement d’œuvres créées à Venise, ce « paradis des villes », que Fox aura fréquenté pendant des décennies. L’ouvrage accompagne une exposition ouvert le Musée des Beaux-Arts Beaverbrook maintenant. Il montre l’évolution de l’artiste qui, après avoir privilégié le cœur de la ville, a peint des vues de canaux et de places bien moins connus.
