Two hands hold up a softcover book. On the cover is a landscape painting featuring a wooden fence in a field. Abstract forms are scattered around the landscape, mingling with natural and human-made elements.

This publication coincides with the travelling exhibition Jeffrey Burns: Terrene held at the Owens Art Gallery from 12 November to 19 December 2004.

To even the casual observer, it is clear that Jeffrey Burns is interested in, perhaps even obsessed with, landscape. Audiences to the exhibition will find a rich context within both contemporary and historical landscape painting, and will discover extended possibilities for discussion about this preeminent Canadian idiom.

The publication includes acknowledgments by David Aurandt, an introduction by Gemey Kelly and essays by Linda Jansma and Shauna McCabe.

Produced by the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, the Illingworth Kerr Gallery, the Confederation Centre Art Gallery and the Owens Art Gallery.

Two hands hold open a book. On the left page is a painting of a forest floor, a tree trunk melting onto the ground. On the right page is a painting of a cavern-like space. Amorphous forms grow from the ground, melding with unidentifiable human-made objects.
