Pop artist Charles Pachter is having fun with the image of a moose in this serigraph.

Giclee edition 1/1. Framed dimension 37" x 32" Pachter has often used the tent as a symbol of the country, of military history, and the journey implied by the use of the tent, and of course, the primary symbolism of the pyramid. In true Pachter form, he manages to challenge and evoke all these ideas with riveting simplicity - especially with the black and white imagery.

A rare opportunity for collectors of exquisite paper works, painstakingly created. In 1852 Susanna Moodie published her journals in an effort to educate other English women about the hardships of establishing a life in Canada. In 1962, these were reprinted as Roughing It In the Bush. In 1970, Margaret Atwood published The Journals of Susanna Moodie – a book of poems based on the Moodie Book. Charles Pachter had illustrated her previous books of poetry, and was moved to illustrate the Journals – a project he completed in 1980. Two master Italian printers worked with Pachter for the better part of a year to create the 120 completed boxed sets of the work. Each one contains 28 hand printed pages. This wasn’t just an illustration – it was an amplification of the original poems. It has been republished in a small book format in 2014 by Cormorant Press. Only 4 original copies remain – the others are in public collections or private hands. "This is truly the most magnificent book ever to be produced in Canada, a benchmark in the history of Canadian printing. It is immensely gratifying to find how Pachter's graphics so extend, expand and explore the inner meaning of Atwood's text." Beth Miller...
