Edited by Avrom IsaacsBorn on a farm in Alberta in the 1920s, William Kurelek spent his childhood and youth on the Canadian Prairies, a land that he came to love in spite of the difficulties wrought by farm life. Later, Kurelek traveled from coast to coast and painted various parts of Canada with a distinct affection for the land and its people. This delightfully illustrated volume features images from a broad spectrum of the entire country. Kureleks endearing paintings depict charming, poignant and often humourous scenes from the everyday lives of Canadiansfrom lumberjacks enjoying a hearty breakfast in Northern Ontario to families celebrating the Sabbath in Montreal. His paintings also capture the landscapes of a country made up of many different partsfrom the rugged shores of Newfoundland to the BanffJasper Highway that runs through the Rocky Mountains.Kurelek Country is a magnificent, personalized view of our nation. The artists father immigrated to Canada from the Ukraine, and the Ukrainian cultural heritage figures prominently in Kureleks work. So too do other diverse cultures, including the Polish and Irish in Canada. Kurelek is famous for his unique depictions of the many ethnic groups who settled this country.Kureleks own passionate writings accompany the paintings, which demonstrate that his art has always contained a deep, spiritual message. Culled from his autobiography and personal correspondence, Kureleks words add a compelling element to this collection. Kurelek Country also features a foreword by the respected art dealer Avrom Isaacs, who was instrumental in building the career of William Kurelek. Before emerging as one of Canadas bestknown artists, Kurelek worked as a framer at the Isaacs Gallery in Toronto to support himself and his family. (1999)
