Canada shown
summer
and winter

Back in 1967 the Canadian
government commissioned
the National Film Board to
create a book to mark the
one hundredth anniversary
of. Canada’s Confederation.

The book, titled
“CANADA/A YEAR OF
THE LAND”, is a mar-

vellous photographic essay
on Canada’s most precious
heritage - the land. With a
text written by Bruce,
Hutchison, the book features
the work of many out-
standing photographers.

Starting August 7,
Presentation House is proud
to present 139 of the 260
pictures in an_ exhibition
titled“Canada: Summer and
Winter”.

In the book, Canada is
depicted in transformation
throughout the four seasons
of the year — magnificent
compositions of nature in a
hundred moods. For the
exhibition Presentation
House selected photographs
from the chapters on
summer and winter. Each
photograph is a tribute to the
extraordinary mutability and
beauty of the land, from the
neat and picturesque to the
almost surreal.

Summer is portrayed
through images like the
parliament buildings in
Ottawa, Standing like a fairy
fortress in front of the
Rideau Canal at night; a
stand of fir trees in Cape
Breton silhouetted against a
brooding stormy sky; two
cedar waxwings in Islington,
Ontario caught looking at.
each other across _ their
brood of hungry fledglings.

The winter images are just
as diverse: an igloo glowing
eerily in the darkness in the
Central Arctic; a pair of long
johns frozen solid on a New
Brunswick washing line.

The photographers
featured in this exhibition
really prove their worth.
Each picture is a master-
Piece in its own right.
Among those whose work is
represented are John de
Visser, Freeman Patterson,
Malak and Chris Bruun.

CANADA: SUMMER
AND WINTER will be
shown in the Gallery from
August 7 to August 31,

ICAN SCULPTURE has
