Walter J. Phillips (1884-1963) Canadian, Woodblock
Est: $200 - $400
Walter Joseph Phillips (1884-1963) Canadian, Color Woodblock. Signed bottom right, titled "Red River Road" bottom left. Depicts a road curving along a slip of land between two bodies of water with a small village in the distance. Overall size: 15 1/4 X 14 5/8 in. Sight size: 8 1/4 X 8 1/4 in. #1568. Walter Joseph Phillips was born 1884 at Barton-on-Humber in Lincolnshire, England, the son of Reverend John Phillips, a Methodist minister. In his teens he attended the Birmingham School of Art, studying under Edward R. Taylor. In 1908 he was hired as Art Master at Bishop Woodworth School in Salisbury. In 1910 he married Gladys Pitcher and immigrated to Winnipeg, Canada. Purchasing etching tools and taking lessons from local artists, he began producing etchings in very small editions in 1915, subsequently switching to color woodcut prints. During the summers of 1917 and 1919 Phillips taught at the University of Wisconsin, and by 1928 he had produced eighty-one woodcuts. His pattern of making woodcuts became very recognizable and highly sought-after: a graphite sketch followed by a finished watercolor, another sketch to compose the woodcut, and then the final print. From 1925 to 1946 his subjects were primarily the Prairies and the Rocky Mountains. In 1941 he became an instructor at the Institute of Technology and Art in Calgary, where he stayed until 1949. In 1958 Phillips eyesight began failing and he retired to Victoria, where he died in 1963. Location Box 3

WALTER J. PHILLIPS Morning.
Est: $1,500 - $2,500
WALTER J. PHILLIPS Morning. Color woodcut, 1924. 183x195 mm; 7⅛x7⅝ inches, wide margins. Signed, titled and numbered 13/150 in pencil, lower margin. A very good impression. Phillips (1884-1963) is known for popularizing the color woodcut in Canada. Born in England, he studied at the Birmingham School of Art and lived abroad in South Africa and Paris before moving to Canada in 1913, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He befriended the English artist Cyril H. Barraud (1877-1965) who introduced him to printmaking, particularly etching. In 1917, Phillips began to teach himself color woodcut printmaking, which brought him commercial success. In the 1920s and 1930s he was Canada's most famous printmaker and exhibited internationally. Throughout his career he produced over 200 prints. In 1933, he was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. In 1940, he became the 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. Boulet 75.

In his teens, he attended the Birmingham School of Art once a week, studying under Edward R. Taylor. He went to South Africa for a few years in the hope of earning enough money there to be able to study art in Paris, but returned with little more than he left with. By 1908, he had worked as a commercial artist in Manchester and London, then from 1908 to 1911 served as art master at Bishop Woodworth School in Salisbury, England. In 1911, he held his first solo show in Salisbury which was both critically and financially successful. Eventually, he and his wife Gladys Pitcher, whom he had married in December 1910, decided to emigrate to Canada, arriving in Winnipeg in June, 1913.

Phillips (Walter Joseph, 1884-1963). Jim King's Wharf, Alert They, B. C., 1927 * Phillips (Walter Joseph, 1884-1963). Jim King's Wharf, Alert Bay, British Columbia, 1927, colour woodcut on japan paper, signed, titled and numbered 100/100 in pencil to lower margin, image size 27.5 x 20.5 cm (10 7/8 x 8 1/8 ins), period frame, glazed, with label to verso of Aldridge Bros. Art Dealers Picture Restorers and Frame Makers, The Little Gallery, Worthing, frame size 52 x 40 cm QTY: (1) NOTE: Anglo-Canadian artist Walter Joseph Phillips was born in Lincolnshire, and studied at the Municipal School of Art in both Birmingham and Great Yarmouth. In 1913 he emigrated to Winnipeg, where he found employment as a teacher. By 1917, he had begun to experiment with the colour woodcut, eventually publishing The Technique of the Colour Woodcut in 1926. The following year Phillips made his first trip to the west coast of British Columbia, visiting Alert Bay and Village Island. In his unpublished manuscript entitled Wet Paint (available at wjphillips.ca/wet-paint), the artist describes the present work: 'some of the coastal steamers tie up at the end of this crazy wharf, and discharge consignments of groceries and other articles of commerce, for the genial Chinese merchant Jim King, whose store stands at the shore end of it. The tide races along Johnstone Straight between the shore and Vancouver Island, whose snow-capped peaks may be seen in the distance. An Indian dug-out canoe is passing - admire its graceful lines. Gasoline-driven fishing boats - trollers and seiners, tramp steamers and launches pass us frequently, and the big liners that ply between the great southern ports of Alaska, at regular intervals. It has become a busy sea-way. The composition does not present any feature of outstanding interest. The canoe was introduced for balance, and to help lead the eye to the end of the wharf, which is the focal point. A distant island is connected with the wharf on the picture plane by intrusive lines and parts, and the vertical direction of the piles merges gradually into the horizontal by virtue of their spreading reflections.'
