| Summary |
"Pegi Nicol MacLeod was a charismatic bohemian whose expressive images of the contemporary world were an essential component of Canadian modernism. She was commissioned by the National Gallery of Canada to paint the wartime women's services and her work stands out for its innovative human focus and energetic depictions of people, cities, and landscapes. Her paintings are among the most recognizable Canadian artworks of the 1930s and 1940s." "A free-spirited artist, Nicol MacLeod is also remembered for her colourful life, love affairs, and significant friendships with Vincent Massey, Norman Bethune, Frank Scott, and Graham Spry. In Pegi by Herself, Laura Brandon draws on the artist's letters and autobiographical pantings. This first full-length biography is an illustrated portrayal of a painter who contributed greatly to Canada's artistic tradition."--Jacket |
