Heritage by Michael Kluckner (as seen on p.217 of Vancouver Remembered), part of a series of 4 paintings created for Vancouver’s 100th birthday in 1986. The painting depicts both old and new Vancouver with a view from Frances Street at Victoria Drive, including a corner store, a majestic turreted house, and the modern skyline. Even in 1985, many of the homes depicted along this block did not actually exist at this location, but were instead a representative sampling of Grandview homes. Today, the majestic turreted house at Frances Street and Salsbury Drive remains the sole landmark of Vancouver’s early heritage on this block.
Seen previously: City of the Century by Toni Onley, Waterfront City by Jack Shadbolt, and if anyone has the poster or an image of Hugh Ricks’ Sea Otter painting, please send it over! Paintings from this series are tagged “centennial”.
