#2 in the Unheralded Artists of BC series
EVE LAZARUS, CLAUDIA CORNWALL, WENDY NEWBOLD PATTERSON
Filled with rare art reproductions and artists’ personal photographs, this 2nd book in the series introduces the talent of three BC. artist-mentors who worked and exhibited from the 1950s on in Vancouver, Burnaby, Victoria and Salt Spring Island, yet are known only to a few. Their common bond was their choice not to embrace, chameleon-like, the various artistic trends of the era, but to work passionately towards perfecting their own ‘timeless and individuated styles’.
