Notes:  Includes reproductions of the series of paintings on folded pages, with accompanying drawings and studies. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "The Four Continents is comprised of a series of paintings made between 2012 and 2016. In this series, Monkman (an artist of Cree ancestry, well known for his provocative reinterpations of romantic North American landscapes) takes as his point of departure Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's epic frescoes commissioned for a private residence in Würzburg, Germany. The centrepiece of the Tiepolo series represented a day in the life of the Greek god, Apollo, with the four continents allegorized in peripheral scenes. In Monkman's reinterpretation, each continent is personified by a Two-Spirit sovereign with Miss Chief playing the roles of Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. Tiepolo's allegory is updated to include architectural wonders and notable figures from history amidst chaotic crowds."--From publisher.
