Summary:

Published in 1981 by the Jane Corkin Gallery in Toronto, Twelve Canadians: Contemporary Canadian Photography is an exhibition catalog showcasing a prominent selection of late 20th-century Canadian photographic artists.

Featuring works by 12 leading figures—including Raymonde April, Barbara Astman, David Barbour, Edward Burtynsky, Lynne Cohen, Serge Clément, Robert Bourdeau, and Michael Torosian—the publication captures a vital turning point in Canadian art photography. The catalog highlights diverse stylistic approaches ranging from stark architectural documentary and large-format industrial landscapes to intimate conceptual portraiture and staged tableaus. By highlighting these distinct practices, Twelve Canadians reflects the growing institutional recognition, formal variety, and maturity of contemporary photo-based art in Canada during the early 1980s.
