Artists of Vancouver's old-fashioned semi-Bohemian West End are exhibiting their
work this week in the up-to-date eighth-floor lounge of Sylvia Court. There are in the show a few artists' names that cannot be found on West End studios, but for the most part it is a "district" show and one that undoubtedly no other district in the city could stage. For most of the city's outstanding artists either live or have studios in the West End. F.H. Varley, Vancouver's member of the "Group of Seven" is represented with a new little sketch in oils as well as by a number of drawings. J.W.G. McDonald (sic), another Vancouver artist whose work is well known throughout Canada, has an unusual winter waterfront scene as well as a landscape and some prints. R. Bruce Inverarity is represented with a group of satirical drawings and an oil waterfront scene done by palette knife; Cameron Ramsay has a portrait of "Dora," and H. Faulkner Smith has a small but fascinating boat print. Stateira Frame's village scene in oils is one of the best she has done, and B.A. Fry's two winter mountain scenes are very fine, the one in pastel the other in watercolors. Ross Lort is exhibiting a picture never before shown, and Otto Schellenberger, Ernva Code, Margaret Carter, Julius Griffiths, Maud Sherman, Norma Park, Gertrude Lawson, Medora J. Thomson have excellent examples of their work on view. The sculpture section is represented by B. Lennie and Ralph Roberts. Altogether the exhibition is a most interesting one and well worth a visit. It will be on view all week. D.S.M. (Doris Stone Milligan) |
