Waterfront City, by Jack Shadbolt, 1985. Part of a series of 4 paintings created for Vancouver’s 100th birthday in 1986. The paintings were commissioned by a publication company that reprinted the paintings as a series of commemorative poster prints. Three of the four paintings were purchased from the publication company, held in trust, and this painting is now displayed in Vancouver’s City Hall.
City of the Century by Toni Onley was previously posted last week, and
Heritage by Michael Kluckner (as seen on p.217 of Vancouver Remembered) will be posted next week. I am missing a picture of Hugh Ricks’ Sea Otter painting; if anyone has the poster, or an image, please send it over! Thank you!
Paintings from this series will be tagged “centennial”.
