About the Book:Over 50 years, the constant thread in Murray Laufer’s work has been the making of intimate portraits—both drawings and prints—which have about them the shared qualities of the carefully observed and the deeply felt. After a decades-long punctuation in his art-making as an acclaimed theatre designer, Laufer finally turned to his own studio to realize intimate works on paper and three-dimensional paintings that deal with issues of personal communion and the astonishing, celebratory fragility of human life. This book is an episodic narrative of Murray Laufer’s achievements as an artist in all the ways his work took form. Texts and images combine to chart the chronology of his life. It is the first published record of his achievements. About Murray Laufer:Murray Bernard Laufer was born in Toronto. He was the only son of a Jewish couple of Polish and Lithuanian heritage. As a young person he was an excellent student, artist and hockey player. He graduated from Harbord Collegiate, followed by the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD) in Toronto and, in 1952, he received the Reeves and Son Scholarship and graduated with honours. It was at this time that he met his future wife, Marie Day. As the pioneer of Canadian theatre, he combined architecture, sculpting and painting. His audiences instantly identified with his stage settings. He is best known to theatre patrons through his work for the Stratford Festival, the Canadian Opera Company, the Shaw Festival, the Banff Centre for the Arts, and Anne of Green Gables at the Charlottetown Festival. He has been described as an exacting perfectionist. Murray’s magnificent theatrical designs were acknowledged internationally. He is known for his creative, imaginative and inventive works. His designs represented Canada at Expo 70 in Japan. They were staged at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., as part of Canada’s gift to the U.S. on its bicentennial. Murray left theatre design to become a studio artist. Drawing and painting were really his passion. Several of his works are part of the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario.
