"Located in the heart of the capital of the Canadian state, the National Gallery holds a large collection of works created by society's archetype of political deviancy, the anarchist. As this guide demonstrates, these artists have had lengthy political and social involvement with groups and organizations established along anarchist principles of voluntary association, egalitarianism, mutual aid, and the refusal of authority." -- publisher's statement. Artists identified in the book as anarchists include Gustave Courbet, Clyfford Still, Donald Judd, and others.
