| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Art in Canada is marked by thousands of years of habitation by First Nations Peoples followed by waves of immigration which included artists of European origins and subsequently by artists with heritage from countries all around the world. The architecture of Canada is closely linked to the techniques and styles developed in Canada, Europe and the United States. However, design has long needed to be adapted to Canada's climate and geography, and at times has also reflected the uniqueness of Canadian culture. This book studies Canadian art and architecture including the Refus Global, the Regina Five, contemporary Canadian art, and the architecture of Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, and Ottawa.
