{"product_id":"betty-goodwin","title":"Betty Goodwin","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew artists address grief and mourning as powerfully as Betty Goodwin (1923?2008). One of the giants of contemporary art in Canada, she emerged as a singular talent in the 1970s. Born in Montreal, where she remained a dominant artistic presence over a six-decade career, Goodwin was mentored in the post-war years by a group of Jewish painters committed to social justice. By the 1960s, she was searching for a more personal artistic voice. Always attuned to the ills of the world, she went on to create a diverse body of work encompassing painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eBetty Goodwin: Life \u0026amp; Work\u003c\/em\u003e, author Jessica Bradley tells the story of this visionary creator?s remarkable career, highlighting how, in 1968, Goodwin began putting pieces of clothing through a printing press. Her resulting Vest series?now celebrated as one of the major breakthroughs in contemporary printmaking?resonated with Goodwin?s early loss of her father, a vest maker. In the years that followed, she earned critical acclaim for her contributions to the art of drawing, participated in the Venice Biennale in 1995, and received both a Governor General?s Award in Visual and Media Arts and the Order of Canada in 2003.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Goodwin was the subject of numerous solo exhibitions during and after her lifetime, \u003cem\u003eBetty Goodwin: Life \u0026amp; Work\u003c\/em\u003e is the first comprehensive English-language overview of the artist?s career since her death.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jessica Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47516174385391,"sku":"9781487103798","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/0903\/9343\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c586ef2f-e7cd-4058-9724-c03a8bf4acdc.jpg?v=1769192707","url":"https:\/\/mandagroup.shop\/fr\/products\/betty-goodwin","provider":"MandaGroup","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
