Confrontations by Diane Boadway (1978)

Self-portrait 1978

In 1978 CEAC mainstay Diane Boadway produced a suite of cross-Canada conversations and named them Confrontations. Diane: “Confrontations exemplifies quite succinctly the direction CEAC was going in, regarding getting closer to the social fabric, through a possible politicized art system (which could have formed more completely). Amerigo applauded this work at the time.”
