?(An) overwhelmingly moving and beautiful book.?A timeless treasure.?
?Publishers Weekly
--This text refers to the
Paperback
edition.
Book Description
Artist William Kurelek created this uniquely moving book on the theme that Christ came to all people everywhere. What would happen if He came now? A boy imagines that the nativity takes place in northern snows. He dreams that the Christ child is born to Eskimos, to Indians, to Blacks, that the Nativity takes place in a fisherman’s hut, a garage, a cowboy’s barn, that the holy family is given refuge in a city mission, a grain barn, and a country school. A beautiful holiday story for all generations.

?Hard to imagine?not getting up an absolute lust for the deep woods with this book.?
?Harper?s
Book Description
When William Kurelek was young, he went into the bush to work as a lumberjack twice. Realizing that the traditional life of a lumberjack was disappearing, he decided to record in pictures and text a job that helped to make Canada the country it is. Kurelek takes readers through a day in the bush, from the first wake-up to breakfast, to the different phases of cutting wood, to how the men spent their free time. Hardship and pleasures were shared in the creation of these unforgettable paintings.

Review
“Breaking Free, part art book, part biography, is the story of Kurelek’s life, told with eloquence and compassion by Cutler and illustrated with Kurelek’s well-known and well-loved paintings…”
–The Globe And Mail
“May Ebbitt Cutler has created a beautiful tribute to the life and art of William Kurelek… This handsome and elegant biography gives readers insight into the life of a man who struggled to ‘break free’ and achieve his own personal vision of art and life. This powerful story will be of interest to anyone interested in Canadian art and is highly recommended for school and public library collections.”
–CM Magazine
“Reading this book is like walking through a gallery of Kurelek’s works with someone... |
