Items related to John Fox: A Painter in Venice | Un peintre à Venise
Synopsis
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 opening in July 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.
Ce recueil ouvre une perspective fascinante sur le legs visuel de l’ artiste canadien John Fox (1927-2008) grâ ce à un magnifique agencement d’ œ uvres cré é es à Venise, ce « paradis des villes » , que Fox aura fré quenté pendant des dé cennies. L’ ouvrage accompagne une exposition que pré sentera le Musé e des Beaux-Arts Beaverbrook en 2025. Il montre l’ é volution de l’ artiste qui, aprè s avoir privilé gié le cœ ur de la ville, a peint des vues de canaux et de places bien moins connus.
Les aquarelles et les carnets de croquis au crayon de l’ artiste, nombreux, rendent compte d’ un demi-siè cle d’ exploration et d’ observation de lieux qui le captivaient. Fox ira trè s souvent à Venise, où il sé journera au moins une fois chaque anné e à partir du milieu des anné es 1970. Les couleurs et la lumiè re de la Sé ré nissime ont inspiré toutes ses toiles, abstraites et figuratives, sa maniè re é tant d’ ailleurs manifestement enrichie par la fré quentation de maî tres vé nitiens qui ont ré volutionné la peinture.
John Fox: Un peintre à Venise regroupe plus de 80 reproductions de peintures, dessins et aquarelles exé cuté s à Venise, et trois essais de Victoria Leblanc, John Leroux et Sandra Paikowsky, qui sondent la remarquable carriè re de cet artiste, ainsi que sa pré sence dans sa ville de pré dilection, son profond attachement pour l’ authenticité des quartiers moins connus et son exploration trè s personnelle de l’ art et de l’ architecture vé nitiens.
