IAN THOM: CURATOR TALK / TOUR

Thursday, July 30, 7:00 p.m.

Free


Bertram Charles Binning (1909-1976) was a central figure in British Columbia's post-war modernist art world. Highly acclaimed for both this paintings and sculptures, Binning was also a firm believer in the importance of drawing. In his talk, Ian Thom, senior curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery, will discuss Binning's drawings of boats and forest interiors in the context of his legacy as an important 20th century Canadian artist. Using the Burnaby Art Gallery's exhibition of the artist's works on paper as a backdrop, Thom will pay particular attention to Binning's dinstinctive sensibility and drawing style, including his unique use of line and space.
