Strengths of the Lee Library include American, British, and French photography and photographers. The publications on French 19th- century material (numbering well over 100), include many uncommon specialized catalogues from French regional museums and galleries, on the major photographers of the time, such as Eugène Atget, Daguerre, Gustave Le Gray, Charles Marville, Félix Nadar, Charles Nègre, and others. In addition, it is noteworthy that the library includes many small exhibition catalogues, which are often the only publication on specific photographers’ work, providing invaluable research material. The major developments and evolutions in the history of photography are covered, including numerous titles on the pioneers of photography and photographic processes such as daguerreotypes, calotypes, and the invention of negative-positive photography. The Lee Gallery Library has great depth in the Pictorialist Photography aesthetic movement, the Photo- Secession and the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, as evidenced by the numerous titles on American photography of the early 20th-century. This is supplemented by concentrations of books on the photography of the American Civil War and the exploration of the American West. Photojournalism is also well represented, from war documentary to Farm Security Administration and LIFE photography.

    GUIDE TO GALLERIES + MUSEUMS ALBERTA BRITISH COLUMBIA WASHINGTON OREGON April - May 2020 preview-art.com Halin de Repentigny, Last Burst of Light, 2019 Photo: Susan Stanley. Courtesy of Madrona Gallery. Dear Readers, Thank you for your continued support of the arts in the Pacific Northwest. For over 30 years, Preview has helped art and museum aficionados connect with artists’ works and featured exhibitions in Alberta, BC, Washington and Oregon. Since it is vital to continue to support the arts during the COVID-19 crisis, we have published our April-May issue online. Galleries and museums have responded to the situation by temporarily closing their doors and postponing events, while our leading visual arts writers have continued to contribute their insightful reviews of exhibitions and programs. We at Preview have done our best to provide accurate information at the time of publishing; however, I strongly suggest you visit venue websites for updated schedules. This issue is an important beacon for the visual arts. We appreciate that no virtual experience can equal a personal visit to a gallery, museum or artist’s studio. But until such visits are again possible, Preview can guide your search for art that inspires you at this time of self-isolation. I should also mention that our magazine functions not only as a gallery guide and cultural advocate in the Pacific Northwest; since 1986, it has been recognized by Library and Archives Canada as “a historical record of art produced in this area. Public and museum libraries collect and retain copies of Preview for their permanent archives.” The arts on both sides of the border need our support now more than ever.

  • John Vanderpant and the Cultural Life of Vancouver, 19 20-1939
    John Vanderpant and the Cultural Life of Vancouver, 19 20-1939 SHERYL SALLOUM The Canadian photographer John Vanderpant (1884-1939) achieved world-wide recognition for his black and white images and was "a major influence on Canadian photography in the 1920s and 1930s."1 He was also a major influence on the cultural development of the Vancouver area in those years. Vanderpant is an example of the patron who, according to Maria Tippett, helped to make Canadian culture "richly-textured, diver­ sified, and spontaneous" in the period between the two world wars.2 His endeavours to encourage the arts were extraordinary; his contributions to the cultural milieu of the West Coast are as unique and intriguing as his photography. Vanderpant emigrated from Holland in 1911, but he did not become a permanent Canadian resident until 1913. At that time he settled in the beautifully rugged region of southern Alberta. Attracted by its resource- rich economy and scenic expanses, Vanderpant felt that the area offered viable employment possibilities and creative freedom. These were espe­ cially important to the young man as he was beginning a career as a portrait photographer, and he wanted to escape restricting European traditions.3 To Vanderpant's dismay, he found that the area was artistically isolated; he yearned for a more vibrant cultural environment. It is not surprising, therefore, that he began importing American and European publications and musical recordings in order to keep himself attuned to new and avant- garde movements. Over the years he would disseminate that information, and the ways in which he would do so were distinctive.
