Designed to accompany an exhibition at the Art Gallery Ontario, Colville honours the iconic Canadian artist's legacy and explores the continuing impact of his work on film, literature, and music. Known for painting decidedly personal subject matter, Colville's painstakingly precise images depict an elusive tension, capturing moments perpetually on the edge of change and the unknown. Featuring more than 100 reproductions, this book contains works assembled from museums and private collections nationwide. Spanning the entirety of Colville's career, this work includes many works that have never been reproduced before as well as his most iconic paintings, including Horse and Train, 1953; To Prince Edward Island, 1965; Woman in Bathtub, 1973; and Target Pistol and Man, 1980.

Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Art Gallery of Ontario from August 23, 2014 to January 2015, and at the National Gallery of Canada from April 24 to September 7, 2015.
