Seven more of Canada’s best photographers will be celebrated Wednesday (April 8) as Canada’s postal service, Canada Post, releases the third issue of stamps in a five-year series on photography.
The work of photographers Nina Raginsky, Sam Tata, Geoffrey James, Larry Towell, Geneviève Cadieux, Conrad Poirier and Harold Mortimer-Lamb was selected with the assistance of leading curators and gallery owners.
Among the photos featured is Geoffrey James’ photo of painter Alex Colville on the Tantramar Marshes in the province of New Brunswick in 1970 and Geneviève Cadieux’s close-up of a woman’s red lips, part of her exploration of the body as a landscape.
