Pegi by Herself cover

The definitive biography of a free-spirited artist whose paintings are among the most immediately recognizable Canadian artworks of the 1930s and 1940s.

"This thoroughly engaging biography illuminates the life and career of Pegi Nicol MacLeod, focusing on how she and her circle understood the relationship between their lives and their art making." Catherine Mackenzie, Department of Art History, Concordia University "Brandon tells us why the paintings matter as visual objects and succeeds in balancing the person and the art, which is in keeping with Nicol McLeods own view of herself." Sandra Paikowsky, Department of Art History, Concordia University, author of Goodridge Roberts, 1904-1974, and publisher of "The Journal of Canadian Art History"
