Sapp, Allen. I HEARD THE DRUMS.
Stoddart, Toronto, 1996.
111 pp, oblong large 8vo (9 1/4" x 11 3/4"), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0773729747 Colour and b&w photographs, colour reproductions. "A remarkable collection of 75 paintings from one of Canada's greatest artists, native painter Allen Sapp. Drawing on his roots in Red Pheasant Reserve, and in the Saskatchewan prairie, Sapp has created beautiful images of lively Powwows, farmers working the fields, children playing in the snow, and stunning, colourful skies. This all-new collectio n o f paintings is accompanied by Sapp's own story. In a charming and insightful essay, Sapp remembers his childhood and traces his roots as an artist and as an Indian. When he was a boy, Sapp loved hearing the drums that resounded at the Powwows a n d dances - as well as singing with his father and other friends and relatives. And he spent many hours walking around the reserve, admiring the natural beauty surrounding him. These scenes from the reserve came to be the foundation of his pai nti ng s. (This book) reveals Allen Sapp's personal dreams and aspirations, and, above all, his pride in his Cree heritage." Minor edge wear. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds, very light rubbing. Very Good+/ Very Go od

Kinsella, W.P. (Allen Sapp.) TWO SPIRITS SOAR: THE ART OF ALLEN SAPP - THE INSPIRATION OF ALLAN GONOR.
Stoddart, Toronto, 1990, first edition.
134 pp, oblong large 8vo (9 1/4" H x 11 15/16" D), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN0773724273 Profusely illustrated with colour reproductions of the artist's work and b&w photographs. "(C)elebrates the distinctive talent of the Canadian painter Al len Sapp, a Cree from Saskatchewan, and his relationship with Dr. Allan Gonor, mentor and friend. Sapp specializes in paintings depicting native life as he remembers it on the Red Pheasant Reserve near North Battleford, with subjects ranging f r o m s ocial activities and farming chores to full-dress ceremonies. These remarkable examples of Canadian art might never have existed were it not for Dr. Gonor, a man of uncommon insight who early recognized Sapp's ability and encouraged him to p ai nt fr om his own experience rather than trying to copy other artists' modes of expression. Sapp's career flourished after Gonor's excellent advice and support in the generous style of the traditional artist's patron. The result: finely d eta ile d p ain t ing s richly evocative of life in a close-knit community, full of warmth and nostalgia. In the text, W.P. Kinsella, a fiction writer well known for his attraction to native Canadian subjects, compares his own passion for writing, as h e wa s gr owin g up, with Sapp's similar youthful dedication to art. Kinsella then explores the productive relationship between Sapp and Gonor to provide a very satisfying picture of this unique and important painter's life and work." Minor s oilin g on botto m of te xtbl ock and bottom edge of rear board. Dust jacket is price clipped, has minor edge wear, light edge wrinkling, minor rubbing, a few small line indentations.
