Each drawing is the original work for the book Animal Spirits by David William McFadden - Canadian poet, fiction writer, and travel writer.
Greg Curnoe (19 November 1936 – 14 November 1992) was a Canadian painter knownfor his role in the Canadian art movement labelled London Regionalism, which, beginning in the 1960s, made London, Ontario, an important centre for artistic production in Canada. While his oeuvre chronicled his daily experience in a variety of media, it was grounded in twentieth-century art movements, especially Dada, with its emphasis on nihilism and anarchism, Canadian politics, and popular culture. He is remembered for brightly coloured works that often incorporate text to support his strong Canadian patriotism, sometimes expressed as anti-Americanism, as well as his activism in support of Canadian artists.
