Winnipeg: Winnipeg Art Gallery, 1970. Paper bound in illustrated wrappers, oblong 8vo, illustrated with plates in colour and black & white, xii + Pp115. A tight and clean, very good or better copy. An exhibition for the Manitoba Centennial, 1970. From the foreword: The title of our exhibition, '150 Years of Art in Manitoba,' means art created in Manitoba or art created for Manitoba. It includes, also, art created by Manitobans who left the province. It puts emphasis on art and is not mainly a historical exhibition, although the historical value of some works may have influenced us in making our choices. Works are those of professional artists or of amateurs. The exhibition shos painting and sculpture, including drawings, prints, and, sometimes, photography. We had to omit crafts, because the material would have been too extensive, and also church art, although the thought of including ecclesiastic sculpture and painting and stained-glass windows was very tempting.' Very good. 415… Read More

Description:
Winnipeg: Hignell, 2000. As new! Paper bound, first printing, illustrated, SIGNED by author on half title page, xii + Pp334. A fine copy. This is a heartwarming tale of life in the small Manitoba Interlake community of Vogar in the 1970s. It was a decade of prosperity when money flowed from governments and cattle prices - a prime concern for Vogar's ranchers - sometimes reached record heights. Thanks partly to public largesse, Vogar residents were able to achieve their long standing goals of building a new school and a curling rink. It was a time when dreams were realized before the citizens of Vogar and other communities confronted the hard realities of record gas prices, inflation, economic recession and government cutbacks in the 1980s and 1990s. Like he did in his earlier book about the 1960s, author John Johnson also tells us about the individual joys and sorrows of Lake Manitoba's farming and fishing families, skillfully inter-weaving local events with major happenings in the larger… Read More
