This survey of the art of the nude in Canada traces the development of a genre
that has hitherto been a little known and, indeed, neglected facet of this
country’s art. The works by 55 artists it presents consist of some 130
paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints and photographs drawn from about thirty
institutional and private collections. Often controversially, these artists
broke with classical tradition to express themselves more freely, exploring
intimist, social and purely formal visions that aligned them with the great
modern movements.
