Joyce Wieland: Artist on Fire

by Jane Lind

Bursting with anecdotes and generously illustrated with personal photographs as well as colour reproductions of Joyce's art, Joyce Wieland: Artist on Fire is an engaging, entertaining biography.

Joyce Wieland: Artist on Fire is an intimate biography of one of Canada's best-loved and most influential artists. Drawing on extensive interviews and over ten years of research, author Jane Lind captures Joyce's colourful personality and offbeat life in print.

Lind reveals the turmoil of Joyce's childhood and teens, chronicles the wild jazz parties and gallery openings of the fifties and sixties, and discusses Joyce's long, troubled marriage to fellow artist Michael Snow. Her richly productive career is also fully described and considered, and more than 50 of her best works are reproduced in colour.

Bursting with anecdotes and generously illustrated with personal photographs as well as colour reproductions of Joyce's art, Joyce Wieland: Artist on Fire is an engaging, entertaining biography.
