Detailed Description

The Vancouver School of Art, also known as the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts, was a style of painting that emerged in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in the early twentieth century. The school was characterized by its use of bright colors and bold patterns, as well as its focus on nature and the environment. The Vancouver School was founded by British Columbia artist J.W.G. Macdonald, who was inspired by the work of Canadian artist Emily Carr. Macdonald and Carr were both influenced by the work of British artist William Morris, who was a major proponent of the Arts and Crafts Movement. The Vancouver School of Art was active from approximately 1912 to 1925, and its members included such notable artists as Frederick Varley, Lawren Harris, and Arthur Lismer. The school’s work was exhibited widely in Canada and the United States, and its members were instrumental in promoting Canadian art to the world.
