A Collaborative (Ad)Venture: Metropolitan Museum
|
| Abstract |
A review of the innovative livre d’artiste format, published books of illustrations that embodied important features of the Quebec art scene during the interwar period. The publication of Metropolitan Museum (1931) pioneered the popular livre d’artiste format, essentially a small press or self-published book of lithographs, engravings or etchings. Metropolitan Museum was a collaboration between Edwin Holgate, an anglophone artist, and Robert Choquette, a francophone poet. The author maintains that this collaboration demonstrated the vital French-English intellectual links that existed during the 1920s and 1930s.
