pp. 308, Very good black cloth boards, silver spine; silghtly rubbed and stained dustjacket, with portrait of the author by Telford Fenton, tiny chip at spine head; fore-edge rough-cut. “Toronto gallery owner and artist Pollock (not Jackson) writes a series of letters to M, his psychiatrist, from his home in Gordes, in the south of France, whence he had moved after declaring bankruptcy on his Pollock Gallery after 23 years as owner and operator. A painter in his own right (trained at the Slade School in London), his principal objective with his Toronto gallery was to encourage and promote new Canadian artists, including Norval Morrisseau, Robert Bateman, Ken Danby, Paul Fournier, and Ron Martin. Among international artists he brought to Canada were David Hockney, Victor Vasarely, and Richard Hamilton. According to Michael Ignatieff, this volume is “a collection of letters that you can read like a novel, [with] all the manic narrative drive of late modern fiction, … an unsparing self-portrait of the artist as desperado, joker and survivor.”
