Literature:
Ferdinand Eckhardt, Tascona; Lacquer on Aluminum, Winnipeg, 1974 Patricia E. Bovey, Tony "Tascona: Resonance", Winnipeg, 2001, no. 21, reproduced page 66 as "Untitled (Prop-Cycle)", 1973
Justin Barski 'Constructing New Horizons: The Art of Winnipeg Modernist Tony Tascona', "The Arbutus Review", Fall 2014, Vol. 5, No. 1, reproduced page 234
Notes:
Tony Tascona was born in St. Boniface, Manitoba in 1926. At the age of twenty, after a brief stint in the army, he enrolled as a diploma student at the Winnipeg School of Art, where he graduated in 1950. His style was fresh - rich with glazes and impastos, and bold with diverse surface textures and open compositions. The resulting work was loose and expressionistic. At the age of twenty-eight, Tascona had his first exhibition in the Spring Show at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. In the years to follow he exhibited frequently in both group and solo shows.
