Known among art historians as “the king of Canadian collage,” De Niverville celebrates the 50th anniversary of his career with a retrospective and the publication of a 50-page monograph. De Niverville’s brightly coloured works have plentiful origins in his childhood, when he was bedridden for four and a half years and concocted escapist tableaux from cut-outs he took from the comics. His use of collage in eclectic acrylic and oil portraits also recalls the pioneering primitivism of Henri Rousseau, and the unaffected, often grotesque surrealism of Edward Burra. Artwork $1,200–$21,000.—David Balzer
