Reta Cowley was a painter in step with changes taking place in her country. She began by painting in the British watercolour tradition & through a broadening influence developed her own artistic vision. Working primarily on location, Cowley painted the landscape around her home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, & in 1964 received national recognition with a touring exhibition organised by the National Gallery of Canada. Many public & private exhibitions followed throughout the 1970s & 1980s, securing her reputation as a nationally recognised Canadian artist. Drawing upon a variety of source material, including reviews, exhibition catalogues, art history reference books, taped interviews, & even diary & journal entries, author Terry Fenton delivers a comprehensive picture of this influential prairie painter. With stunning colour photography & a detailed biography, this book is an indispensable resource for collectors, galleries, libraries, museums, & art researchers interested in the diversity of Canadian art.
