For illiterate, agrarian societies, the recognizable depictions in such illuminated “books of hours” served to instruct and comfort those lives dependent on annual patterns.The internationally renowned Nova Scotia painter Alex Colville was fascinated by this ancient art form, yet felt himself alien to its presumption of a common lexicon of images. In 1974, he made twelve paintings of the months, each with a personal meaning. To learn more click here...
