A richly illustrated retrospective of the life & art of Woodland Cree painter, Frederick R McDonald. In three parts: an introduction by human ecologist, Karim-Aly S Kassam. an accessible autobiographical recounting of McDonald's life & art. a full-colour section of 61 colour reproductions. The book offers a candid & refreshing work that is honest, raw, & at times, humourous. With one foot in the world of his ancestral peoples, & the other in the realm of contemporary Canadian society, McDonald paints from a unique perspective & uses his art to convey a First Nations message to viewers & readers. This is the first in University of Calgary Press's 'Art in Profile' series, which aims to raise the profile of regional artists.
