About this ebook
Over the past four decades, Canadian artist Tony Calzetta has developed a bold style and a unique visual lexicon. In Fabulous Peculiarities, veteran author, art gallery director, curator and columnist Tom Smart teases out Calzetta’s many and varied artistic influences, from American painter Philip Guston to Canadian critic, author and editor John Metcalf. Smart also examines Calzetta’s efforts to engage audiences in the interpretation of his works, resulting in unique and complex visual narratives. As Smart explains, the culmination of this interest is Calzetta’s collaborative livre d’artiste created with award-winning writer Leon Rooke and printmaker Dieter Grund: a zany, surprising masterwork entitled How God Talks in His Sleep and Other Fabulous Fictions.
Text, image and narrative collide in this investigation into the intersection between visual art and storytelling. Featuring over a dozen full-colour reproductions of some of Calzetta’s seminal works, Smart’s biographical eye highlights the groundbreaking work of one of Canada’s great artists.
