- Summary:
- "The Sobey family of Nova Scotia has championed Canadian art for three generations. Through their collecting of historical Canadian art--from Cornelius Krieghoff to the Quebec Impressionists, from the Group of Seven to Emily Carr to Annie Pootoogook and Kent Monkman--they have assembled a sumptuous record of a country growing and changing. With the Sobey Art Award, now in its twentieth year, the family is also fostering the best of Canadian and Indigenous contemporary art from coast to coast to coast. This book celebrates the Sobeys' manifest contributions, bringing to light new perspectives on the canon of Canadian art and its unfolding future."-- Back cover.
