Les Paradis du monde : L'art populaire du Québec

Abstract

This work in two parts on Quebec's popular art brings together interpretive essays on three major collections in the Canadian Museum of Civilization, as well as statements by the artists and collectors. The authors attack the problematic of the collection, emphasize the arbitrary nature of the mode of gathering in order to create a museum's collection, and deepen aesthetic questions reconnected to the setting up of an exhibition of popular art.
