About the Item

Color woodcut, "Tulips" by celebrated Canadian artist Walter J. Phillips. Signed lower right; titled and numbered 1/50 lower left; and monogramed "WP"in plate lower left. Phillips was born in Barton-on-Humber, Lincolnshire, England. As a youth, he studied at the Birmingham School of Art and later in South Africa and Paris. He worked as a commercial artist in England. In June 1913 he moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where he lived for more than 28 years. His stay to England in 1924-1925 was a turning point in Phillips's development as a colour woodcut artist. There he met William Giles and Yoshijiro Urushibara. Giles was the president of the Colour Print Society, and Phillips had corresponded with him previously. Urushibara was an exceptional technician in the traditional Japanese woodcut tradition, and it was from Urushibara that Phillips finally learned the finer points of sizing paper. This allowed him a much broader choice of Japanese papers. Back in Winnipeg, between 1925 - 1930, Phillips produced his finest work in the medium of color woodcuts. Phillips is also famous for his watercolour sketches. His artistic career spanned from the 1900s through the 1940s, during which time his work was exhibited throughout North America and Great Britain. Common subjects for Phillips included the lakes of Manitoba, the prairies, and in his later years, the Rocky Mountains. In 1940 he was asked to become a resident artist at the Banff Centre, then known as the Banff School of Fine Arts, where he played an important role in the development of their visual arts program. Its Walter Phillips Gallery, which focuses on contemporary art, is named after him. The Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta holds an extensive collection of Phillips works and a research archive. He was also made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
