CANADIAN ART magazine was the successor in 1943 to MARITIME ART,
which was first published in 1940. CANADIAN ART was a "joint
venture" of the National Gallery of Canada, the Art
Association of Montreal, the Vancouver Art
Gallery, the Maritime Art Association, and the
Federation of Canadian Artists.
The journal made an effort to include art from coast to coast,
including solo and group exhibitions, essays, reviews of books published,
and recent acquisitions by major galleries. Advertisments
for art schools, art galleries, and artist materials provide
additional interesting information about Canadian art at the time. Only articles related to BC art and artists are listed below from the incomplete run in the Editor's collection. Numerous illustrations and brief references to BC artists are not noted here. |
