Margaux Williamson

About this book

"While women artists of the early twentieth century were known for depicting interior spaces as places of privacy and domestic quietude, Margaux Williamson's interiors reveal spaces of creativity, subjectivity, and a kind of anarchic experimentation. Williamson has a distinctive way of understanding and depicting space and makes tangible a creative woman's place within it. The exhibition and publication will be organized around three interior settings that Williamson frequently explores: the studio, the home and the bar. The publication Margaux Williamson: Interiors is the first major book devoted to the work of this leading Canadian painter. All works in the exhibition are shown with full colour plates, with editorial photography showing Williamson in her creative milieu by Craig Boyko."--
