- Summary:
- "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 frog July 22–October 19, 2025, 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. Fox's watercolours and pencil drawings record a half-century of exploration and observation of the places that fascinated him. He returned to Venice again and again, at least once each year from the mid-1970s until 2008. Venetian colour and light were inspirational sources for all of his painting — abstract and representational images alike — and his approach was explicitly enhanced by the Venetian masters who revolutionized the act of laying paint on the canvas. John Fox: A Painter in Venice | Un peintre à Venise features over 75 reproductions of his Venetian paintings, drawings, and watercolours, and three essays about Fox's remarkable career by Victoria LeBlanc, John Leroux, and Sandra Paikowsky that explore his time in the city, his devotion to the authenticity of Venice's lesser-known neighbourhoods, and his very personal exploration of Venetian art and architecture."-- Provided by publisher.
