‘An exhibition of works by

a Vancouver ‘Island man
regarded by many experts
as the finest bird painter in

September 2, at Van-
couver’s- Centennial
Museum. _
-The month-long
exhibition, entitled Birds of

the West Coast, contains -

many of the original works
‘from J. Fenwick Lan-

book of the same name. A
substantial number of the

Lansdowne, 39, is the
- Hong Kong-born only child
of British parents who
moved to Vancouver Island
in 1940. A quiet, in-
‘trospective man who began

‘painting birds at 13 years of .

age, Lansdowne’s work
today is frequently equated

with that of John James

Audubon 150 years ago.
Dr. 8S. Dillon Ripley,
secretary | of. the
Smithsonian Institution and
‘president of the  In-

~ ternational Council for Bird.

Preservation, writes in a
foreward , to’ Birds of the

West Coast, Lansdowne’s .
; fourth book: |

“With this book ... he
seems to have come truly

into his own, a towering.

figure, at ease, a com-

manding assurance in the

delineation of birds. These
are the birds of his own
-backyard, that marvellous
out-of-doors that stretches
all round Vancouver Island.
They are as impressive in
their way as Audubon's
birds were a century and a
half ago.” . oo
Lansdowne, who does
most of his painting at his
smal] cottage-studio in
Victoria, says his interest in
birds and painting ‘are
‘among his __ earliest
childhood memories.

Galleries,

,

“f cannot remember a
time when I did not draw or
when the birds about me
were not familiar,” he said.
“The pattern was not
unusual — with most

‘naturalists and artists

fascination with their
Subjects takes ‘hold at a
young age and 50 it was with
me,”’ . ;

- The artist recalled that in
the winter of 1942, when the
Lansdowne. family was
living near Mill Bay and
Cowichan, his mother found
a frozen ruby-crowned

' kinglet “‘and together we

examined the tiny body and
brilliant crown.”

“That kinglet may have
set the mould for my life’s
interest. Or perhaps it was
already set. .

Despite his early interests
in both birds an painting,
‘Some years elapsed’’
before the two parallel
streams of his life con-
verged. Although his
education included no
formal art instruction,
Lansdowne spent a year at
the Britis Columbia
Provincial Museum in
Victoria studying bird
anatomy.

Gradually, Lansdowne
évolyed a style of his own.
His work first attracted
national attention in the

mid-1950s when the Royal |

Ontario Museum in Toronto
exhibited 40 of his water-
colors.

_- Since then his paintings

have been shown in-
ternationally at major
galleries and museums such
as New York’s Audubon
House and Kennedy
the Tyron
Galleries in London, the

. Montreal Museum of Fine

Art and the Museum of
Natural History,
Smithsonian Institution, in
Washington. .

Other paintings have been

acquired by the Beaver-
brook Foundation, Belfast’s
Ulster Museum and
numerous private collec-
tions such as those of the

Bronfman family in Mon-. .

treal and Prince Philip,’
Duke of Edinburgh.

Unanimous critical ac-
claim’ greeted the three
books of Lansdowne pain-
tings that were published
prior to this year’s volume:
Birds of the Northern Forest
(1966), Birds of the Eastern
Forest, Volume 1 (1968) and.
Birds of the Eastern Forest,
Volume 2 (1970). -

In Birds of the West Coast,
published this year by M.F.

Feheley Publishers Limited

of Toronto, Lansdowne has
selected 53 representative
species of the more than 300
species indigenous to the
coast and as far inland as
the coast range of moun-
tains. _—
He plans a second volume
covering species . that
inhabit the west coast
between the British
Columbia border . and
California. .
Lansdowne’s powerful

technique, the contained |

style and quality of his
painting differ markedly |
from the works of the great
bird painters he admired as
a youth — Audubon, Louis
Agassiz Fuertes, Allan
Brooks. ~ mo
“Most bird painters I
know use illustration board

.aS a painting surface

because of its convenience,”
he explained. “I prefer
heavy watercolor paper
though it is more trouble to

‘prepare.

“‘To me this is outweighed

‘by the more sympathetic
quality of the paper and the ©

softer effect it gives to the
finished painting.’
