Reviews"This thoroughly engaging biography illuminates the life and career of Pegi Nicol MacLeod, focusing on how she and her circle understood the relationship between their lives and their art making." Catherine Mackenzie, Department of Art History, Concordia University"Brandon tells us why the paintings matter as visual objects and succeeds in balancing the person and the art, which is in keeping with Nicol McLeod's own view of herself." Sandra Paikowsky, Department of Art History, Concordia University, author of Goodridge Roberts, 1904-1974, and publisher of "The Journal of Canadian Art History"

SynopsisOne of the most vibrant artists of her generation, Pegi Nicol MacLeod was a charismatic bohemian whose expressive images of the contemporary world were an essential component of Canadian modernism during the 1930s and 1940s. In Pegi by Herself, the first full-length biography of Nicol MacLeod, Laura Brandon draws on the artist's remarkable autobiographical paintings and extraordinarily vivid letters. Remembered as much for her colourful life, love affairs, and significant friendships with Vincent Massey, Norman Bethune, Frank Scott, and Graham Spry as for her artistic achievement, Nicol MacLeod exhibited successfully and received significant commissions from the National Gallery of Canada to paint the wartime women's services. She was honoured there with a memorial exhibition following her early death in 1949. Lavishly illustrated, Pegi by Herself accompanies Pegi Nicol MacLeod: A Life in Art, a touring retrospective exhibition of the artist's work that opens at the Carleton University Art Gallery in February 2005, and the premiere of an NFB film biography., The definitive biography of a free-spirited artist whose paintings are among the most immediately recognizable Canadian artworks of the 1930s and 1940s.
