West Vancouver Museum Calendar Exhibitions Impressions of Nature: The Prints of Alistair Bell Exhibition runs from October 7, 2008 to February 7, 2009 Opening Reception on October 7, 2008 from 7pm to 9pm Canadian master printmaker Alistair Bell produced some 300 prints over the span of 62 years. Impressions of Nature: The Prints of Alistair Bell examines the contemplative prints and drawings that Bell created in his home studio in West Vancouver until he passed away in 1997. BelTs main interests eschew the human in favour of solitary animals and birds, as well as atypical landscapes and vegetation, boats and harbour scenes. All these subjects attracted Bell with their strong, often linear or angular form, and are rendered with a striking clarity and expressiveness. His remarkable ability to capture the inner essence of his subjects - achieved through a meticulous process of observation and abstraction - sets BelTs graphic images apart, as they have us see the world intimately and unexpectedly anew.
