embellished Realities:Indian Painted Photographs from the 1880s to the 1940sBy Deepali Dewan
The art of painted photographs arose out of a need for 19th-century artists to compete with commercial photography. Infusing sepia images with vibrant colours to catch the essence of their subjects, these painted photographs acutely illustrate South Asian discomfort with the idea of subduing a rich, lively culture with monotonous representation. The ROM has the largest representation of Indian painted photographs in North America. Embellished Realities features 50 works never before exhibited. Unlike the West, where photography replaced painting as an accurate reflection of “reality,” in India, photographs were used to enhance the function of paintings, which were seen as a reflection of a higher realm of existence, or “hyper-reality.”

Paul Kane/the Artist/: Wilderness to StudioBy Kenneth R. Lister
Paul Kane’s evocative paintings of mid-19th-century Canada have become a treasured part of Canada’s heritage. The Royal Ontario Museum holds the world’s largest collection of Kane’s art—100 oil paintings and 373 sketches in graphite and watercolour. In the mid-1800s, Kane journeyed across Canada by canoe, bateau, horseback, dog sled, and snowshoes—from southern Ontario to the Pacific coast—driven by a passion to produce a visual record of Native peoples, their customs, and artifacts. His sketches in the wilderness reflect what he saw and they became the basis for the oil paintings he later completed in his studio. This is the first time that the ROM’s Kane sketches and paintings have been brought together in a beautiful, authoritative, and popular work. Every painting has been colour-matched to the original under 5500K Verda-Ray Criticolor lighting to ensure colour accuracy. Lavishly illustrated, this coffee table volume will attract the general-interest reader, the art historian, the connoisseur of art, the anthropologist, and all those interested in the cultures of Aboriginal peoples. Bound in a durable cloth to serve library and other reference use. Printed and bound in Canada. Available, 416 pages, $75 HC, 12” x 11.5” | ISBN: 978-0-88854-480-3
