ARTISTS:

Note regarding additional artist biographies:
   New biographies tend to have very little information other than the artist's name and a listing for one or two artworks. Also, at this stage in the AAEV project, a high percentage of important B.C. artists already have biographies, and new biographies tend to be for obscure artists with a limited exhibition record or else artists who started exhibiting close to 1950.
