"A Modern Life: Art and Design in British Columbia 1945-1960 celebrates the co-operative spirit between art and industry in post-war British Columbia, and the extraordinary marriage of what were often very separate artistic disciplines: visual art, design, furniture, craft, and architecture. This, combined with the province's new economic confidence, and the use of materials developed in the province, created an atmosphere of unprecedented optimism and promise for the future." "These artists, in their paintings, crafts, and designs, articulated a specifically British Columbian point of view as it related to the idea of community - how we could and should live our lives, during a time when the province had reason to believe passionately in what was to come."--BOOK JACKET.
