$15 · Michael Kluchner's Vancouver

Michael Kluchner's Vancouver Hardcover, 1996, 123 pages, signed. Michael Kluckner is a Vancouver-based artist and writer. Over the past decade, artist Michael Kluckner's intense relationship with Vancouver's buildings and places has spawned a series of award-winning books. In his most recent, he presents a particularly personal view of the city's contemporary outdoor pleasures. Kluckner writes that he wanted "to paint the scenes and views that I had for a long time taken for granted. This book is a record of a year of such painting, all watercolours that I hope bear the stamp of the particular season and weather of days well spent outside." Interspersed with incisive word portraits of the city's notable neighbourhoods and charming miniature illustrations of people, Michael Kluckner's Vancouver features delicate watercolours of English Bay, Gastown, Chinatown, Downtown, the West End, Kerrisdale, Shaughnessy, Kitsilano, the North Shore, and the Fraser Valley. This glorious portrait of Vancouver presents Michael Kluckner at his most passionate and perceptive. See pictures Pickup in Langford Cross posted
