Oscar G. Rejlander: Artist Photographer 

Lori Pauli, Jordan Bear, Karen Hellman and Phillip Prodger
Co-published with Yale University Press

Often referred to as the “Father of Art Photography,” Oscar G. Rejlander (1813–1875) has been praised for his early experiments with combination printing, for his collaboration with Charles Darwin, and for his influence on the work of Julia Margaret Cameron and Lewis Carroll. Containing 225 impressive colour and black and white images, this groundbreaking catalogue accompanies the first major retrospective on a vital yet understudied figure, and considers the whole range of his activities, including his work as a painter and printmaker.

The Extended Moment

Texts by Ann Thomas and John McElhone
Interview by Marc Mayer and Ann Thomas with James W. Borcoman

This lavish publication celebrates fifty years of collecting photographs at the National Gallery of Canada. When the Gallery began acquiring photos in 1967, few museums viewed the medium as fine art. Thanks to the passion and dedication of early supporters, a comprehensive collection has taken shape over the past half century. Drawn from one of the world’s most significant photographs holdings, The Extended Moment: The Collection of the Canadian Photography Institute of the National Gallery of Canada highlights the collection’s rich diversity, chronicling its formative years and exploring how the technical photographic process has evolved.

Photography in Canada 1960–2000

Andrea Kunard

The variety, width and breadth of photographic culture in Canada is extraordinary, and Canadian photographers are among the most prominent and influential in the world today. From classic street photography, documentary images and landscape imagery, to experimental abstractions and conceptual work, photography is an area of particularly rich exploration in our country. Photography in Canada 1960–2000 is the fifth in a series that presents the Gallery's Photographs Collection, and this catalogue is the first to be published by the newly established Canadian Photography Institute (CPI).

The Intimate World of Josef Sudek

Vladimir Birgus, Ian Jeffrey, Ann Thomas

The Intimate World of Josef Sudek examines how Sudek’s photographs reflect his relationship to the world around him; his endless fascination with light and its absence led him to create some of the 20th century’s most haunting images of nature, monuments, city streets and objects. This generously illustrated catalogue offers a compelling view of Sudek’s photographs and the rich artistic environment of Prague in the decades before and after the Second World War.

The Canadians

Edited by Roger Hargreaves, Jill Offenbeck, Stefanie Petrill.
Introduction by Douglas Coupland.

The Canadians features nearly 80 photographs, taken from The Globe and Mail’s vast archives. These press photographs were originally made to illustrate news stories, mainly from the 1950s and 60s, and held no aspirations to be works of art. However, freshly edited in homage to the great photobooks of the period, they describe Canadian culture during a time of transformation. The book begins with an insightful and irreverent introduction by Douglas Coupland, bringing together themes illuminated in these photographs, and guiding us through a vanished Canada that still resonates.
