Notes

Walter J. Phillips (1884–1963) was an English-born Canadian artist, teacher, and writer best known for his watercolours and colour woodcuts. After studying art in England and working in South Africa, he emigrated to Winnipeg in 1913, where he developed an extensive body of work inspired by the Manitoba landscape, Lake of the Woods, the Rocky Mountains, and the British Columbia coast. He later taught in Calgary and Banff before retiring to Victoria, British Columbia.

In The Tranquility and the Turbulence, Roger H. Boulet examines Phillips’s life and artistic career, tracing his development as a painter and printmaker. The large-format volume includes numerous colour reproductions of his watercolours, woodcuts and drawings.
