Synopsis
Few contemporary artists have worked in the sheer variety of styles that Joe Fafard has perfected — and won such acclaim for their efforts. Born in 1942 in a remote farming hamlet in Saskatchewan, the idiosyncratic artist early on chose a radically different direction from the prevailing modernistic aesthetic of the early 1960s, boldly exploring new media and new imagery. Gaining fame initially as a ceramic sculptor of oversize animals and people, in the early 1980s he turned to laser-steel and bronze work, along the way adding painting to his repertoire. This dual biography and critical study features a wealth of illustrations from Fafard's long career, generously sampling both the monumental sculptures done as public and private commissions, and the more intimate studies of people and prairie that reside in museums worldwide and in the private collections of Oprah Winfrey, Bill Cosby, and others.

Review
"Joe Fafard...combines biography, full-colour photographs of extraordinary works, and a comprehensive overview of Canadian art, a background from which to understand the work of this gifted artist." (Chronicle Herald)
"The story of his life is ably told by Terrence Heath, longtime friend of the artist and clear-sighted observer of his times. It's a tale of a small-town kid with old-fashioned ideas working toward national celebrity, and it is illuminating." (Victoria Times-Columnist)
"Quietly, Saskatchewan's diminutive Joe Fafard has evolved into a giant among Canadian artists. The idiosyncratic sculptor with a special penchant for horses and cows...is that rare breed -- an artist beloved by both the public and the critics. Just how good Fafard is -- very good indeed -- is evident in a retrospective show that captures the essence of his 45-year career." (Western Living)
