Abstract (English)

Commemorating the life of Sudbury artist Charles Paxy, this exhibition focuses on his later work and its most prominent subject matter: mining. Huffman argues that Paxy drew upon his intimate knowledge of the working conditions of miners to produce work that lets the viewer see beneath the surface and into their lives. Best provides a biographical sketch. Texts in English and French. 6 bibl. ref.
