NEW CSDA-CCAD MEMBER BENEFIT:

Go behind the scenes at the world's major art museums with Rosalind Pepall, member of the CSDA-CCAD and past curator at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.  The life of a curator can be thrilling, amusing, disappointing--but never boring.

In these fifteen essays we encounter artists falling in and out of love, family tragedies, the creation of the Stanley Cup, the secrets of Tiffany, Antiques Roadshow, a rootless baroness, the design craze for aluminum, small Japanese boxes called kogos, watercolour sketchbooks of the Canadian north, a beautiful prayer room in Montreal, gondolas flying through windows in Venice, and Moscovites who love Goldfinger,

Archival black and white photographs and colour plates--including Edwin Holgate's Ludivine, one of the most beloved and recognizable Canadian portraits ever painted—as well as objects from the decorative arts collection make this book a must-have for art lovers, students, academics, museum-goers and readers interested in the role art and design plays in the creation of our lives.
