As this book demonstrates, artistic intentions among the nation's sculptors, whether political, social, theoretical or aesthetic, are as diverse as Canada itself. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe distinguished cultural historian Maria Tippett begins this richly illustrated study of Canadian sculpture in 13,000 BCE by examining a handcrafted shard found in the Bluefish Caves of the Yukon and proceeds to consider Inuit and First Nations sculptural practices alongside those of Euro-Canadians. Dr. Tippett begins with traditional forms such as totem poles and liturgical carvings before moving along to the landmark EXPO 67 exhibition and other significant events, concluding with the postmodern artists who, with a relentless striving for the new work within new technological realms such as 3D modelling and virtual reality spaces. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr. Tippett's survey evinces an avid interest in the logistics of sculpture, exploring the ways in which the medium demands more space, time, money and material to produce and exhibit than disciplines like drawing and painting. The result is that in Canadian sculpture, more than in other artistic practices, complex social, economic and cultural forces have interacted with the pure inspiration of artists in their studios.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSculpture in Canada\u003c\/em\u003e is a groundbreaking work that will have a profound impact in introducing readers to the underappreciated wealth of this most public of Canadian arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas \u0026amp; McIntyre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771620932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Maria Tippett","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39991903813813,"sku":"9781771620932","price":33.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_53e9ef79-8321-4599-83b5-ccefa5be2314.jpg?v=1620706057","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sculpture-in-canada-a-history-9781771620932","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
