Harold Klunder: Amorphous Amoebae/Amibes amorphes
James D. Campbell
This monograph offers a critical and biographical study of Canadian visual artist, Harold Klunder, focusing most specifically on paintings created between 1995 and 2007. Fifty colour images of artworks and documentary shots of the artist in his studio accompany the text. A discussion of Harold Klunder's ambiguous position between abstraction and figuration, a brief history of his print-making, as well as an analysis of the artist's compositional methodologies using the metaphor of the children's string game - cat's cradle - constitute the key themes of Campbell's text. This publication asserts Klunder's reputation as one of the country's most accomplished and respected painters. In English and French.

Harold Klunder: The Lethbridge Paintings
James D. Campbell
Harold Klunder is one of the country's most acclaimed painters and, although non-representational, his works provide an ongoing record of his life. Throughout the winter of1997-98, he lived in Lethbridge, where, inspired by the ever-changing light of the prairie sky, he enjoyed a highly productive period. Of the dozens of oils and watercolours produced during that time, sixteen are presented here. In his essay, Campbell outlines what he calls the "alchemy" of Klunder's oeuvre.

Harold Klunder: In the Forest of Symbols
