Bringing Art to Life: A Biography of Alan Jarvis Volume 2

By Andrew Horrall

Alan Jarvis - the brilliant director of the National Gallery of Canada - resigned in 1959 following a disagreement with the government over the purchase of works by European Old Masters. He never fully recovered from this dismissal, and succumbed in little over a decade. This book is a portrait of his colourful life and tragic death.
