With over seventy new reproductions of never-before-published paintings and new essays, Tom Thomson is the most comprehensive collection of the artist's work ever published. The original edition in 1977 commemorated the 100th year of Thomson's birth and the 60th of his untimely death. Tom Thomson: The Silence and The Storm was an instant classic. Thomson's brief, brilliant life, and his mysterious death in a canoe accident, quickly gained him mythic status. The book became a legend in its own right and a perennial favourite among Canadian art fans and collectors. This newly designed and greatly expanded edition revives a classic, adds many new images, and offers new insights into Thomson's work, his techniques and his enduring appeal. Candid in its assessment of one of twentieth-century Canada's biggest art stars, Tom Thomson stands out for its original approach and thoroughness. Thomson's sketches and finest works are reproduced in colour, at approximately the same size as the originals. This stunning new edition is a fitting tribute to a great and beloved Canadian artist.

The book is very well illustrated with 177 paintings shown in full colour, many of them to the same dimensions as the original. The pictures run with the text so they are close to where they are discussed. The captions to the pictures provide only the title, the full captions are listed separately at the back of the book. In addition there are nearly 60 black and white images including paintings and period photographs.
This is a substantial book, large in size and landscape in format, and printed on heavy stock. However there are some shortcomings, mainly due to the quality of the printing; the black and white half-tones are soft and very dense, and lack detail in the dark areas, and while the colour plate are much crisper they too suffer from a lack of detail in the dark areas, and they appear to have a cream cast to them (I have note been fortunate to see the originals and base this on a comparison with Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven, which appears to be a much better produced book). These are common failings with some printing of the period (1977).
It is a shame that the quality of the printing is questionable here, for there is so much to be said for having so many paintings reproduced life size. ( )
