Book Review
Visualizing Vancouverites
2006
Overview
Sheryl Salloum's biography of the man shows excellent archival and manuscript research, and is to be credited for also giving the reader a full sense of the way Canadian and international photography developed in the early part of the twentieth century. Vanderpant's entirely black and white work can be divided into two categories: his portraits, which he did mostly for commercial reasons (and which in some cases, nevertheless, still show more talent behind the camera and in the dark room than some of the more mundane color photographs in Facing History), and those of purely artistic expression, of which his series of studies on the angles and shadows of cement buildings, and pattern studies in close-ups of vegetables and flowers bring out the mysticism from the everyday, with a simplicity that only a deeply spiritual man could have accomplished.
