Tom Thomson, the Silence and the Storm
A real concerto of a book. Harold Town, the late Toronto artist, writes some fabulously imaginative solo riffs on Thomson's working methods. These in turn are framed -- in proper concerto fashion -- by some sober, information-packed background pieces provided by David Silcox, the art historian and current head of Sotheby's Canada.
