Reference
"Upon his return to Vancouver in late 1945, Shadbolt turned completely away from the war experience ...and began a series of romantic images. [He] again returned to observing the streets and life of Vancouver and Victoria. This year-long interlude...is one of the high points of his career. Shadbolt displays a control of the medium [watercolour], a strength of composition and an ability to create a palpable atmosphere which few can equal. These moody, slightly melancholy images remain long in our memories." Ian Thom, curator of Jack Shadbolt: Early Watercolours 1980 exhibition at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, pg 9.
