Title: [Bernard] Gantner - a Life in the Country / la Vie à la Campagne
Description: Vancouver, Canada: Mowatt Gallery, 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0969332866. "Gantner has a way of capturing the intricacies and subtleties of nature. His use of colour, even his lack of it as in his black and white drawings, spurs the imagination so that we create colour and moods from our own experiences. The intensity of his skies, the whiteness of his snow, the brilliance of his autumn colours, the range of his greens and pinks, the hillsides, ponds, mountains, villages, mystical structures and winding paths invite the viewer to be a part of the scene portrayed - to reach within and share in the soft, warm and peaceful memories of their mind and soul. This modern master of four media - lithography, drawing, watercolour and oil painting - presents us with opportunities to live in a bygone time, yet at the same time to be part of the here and now." - Introduction.
