Like the members of the Group of Seven  Milne primarily chose landscape as his subject matter. However  his true subject was the process of perception and representation  reducing his painting to its essentials and infusing it with his own distinctive modern sensibility. Through the use of photographs  archival material and Milnes own writings the book presents a moving account of one mans spiritual and emotional voyage into modernity: from his early life in small town Ontario  to the bustling sidewalks of New York  on to the war torn landscapes of northern France as an official war artist and back again to the woods  lakes and fields of upstate New York. Pivoting as it does on Milnes war art  which includes some of the most formally daring of his career  the publication will serve as a poignant locus of remembrance  underscoring the historic bond between Canada and Great Britain  and offering a unique perspective on history through the eyes of one of Canadas most sophisticated modern painters.
