Kruelek Country : The Art of William Kurelek

William Kurelek was surely the most autobiographical of Canadian painters.

He painted pictures of childhood memories, the history of his people and the moral dilemmas of contemporary life...He was a storyteller who felt compelled to tell his stories in paint. Organised into the four great themes found in his art -- landscape, childhood, immigrants, and God -- the sixty full-colour reproductions in Kurelek Country reflect the extraordinary range of the creative genius of a master artist.
