Algonquin Elegy: Tom Thomson's Last SpringiUniverse, 2005 - 252 páginas The mystery of Canada's artist Tom Thomson's drowning in Algonquin Park's Canoe Lake in 1917 have never before been so thoroughly been investigated, documented and reported to the public. Here is what Tom Thomson experts have to say about the book: "Neil J. Lehto's Algonquin Elegy: Tom Thomson's Last Spring, is both a labor of love and a labor of gargantuan effort to come to some understanding, nine decades on, of exactly what happened that summer of 1917. Perhaps no one has ever worked as hard to know the unknowable and, in doing so, he has contributed invaluably to the greatest story in all of Canadian art. Neil's passion for Tom Thomson shines through as passionately on each page as Thomson's passion for Algonquin Park shines though on each painting he left behind that last Spring." -Joan Murray, Executive Director and CEO, McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, Ontario. |
