River of Dreams celebrates the unique ways that Impressionism was practised by artists in Quebec, offering a close look at the work of such luminaries as Clarence Gagnon, Henrietta Mabel May, James Wilson Morrice, and Marc-Aur???le de Foy Suzor-Cot???. These artists documented the shoreline of the St. Lawrence and its surrounding regions, from Montr???al downriver to Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Arthabaska, Qu???bec, Beaupr???, and Charlevoix. The Quebec Impressionists were painting at a time of considerable industrial and social change in Quebec, and their choices about what to paint proved pivotal in cementing an image of the province as a site of both industry and leisure -- whether in scenes of the industrial port of Montr???al, or others capturing the traditional rural way of life in small villages. Featuring a lead essay by curator Anne-Marie Bouchard; reflections on individual painters by leading artists, curators, and scholars; and more than 175 full-colour images (including reproductions of more than 100 paintings; examples of textiles, pottery, and Indigenous trade goods of the period; and archival photographs), River of Dreams is a magnificent tribute to a movement that shaped Canadian art.
