William Weston’s graphic and detailed depictions of the West Coast and British Columbia’s interior are unique. His style has an imaginative, dreamlike quality that has no Canadian parallel. The softness of atmosphere in Whytecliffe, BC sits in beautiful balance with the bold, rugged forms of tree, mountains and water that he defines in such graphic detail. His scientific, almost detached perspective is without sentimental or romantic overtones, yet his affinity for the landscape he depicts comes through. Weston shared a love for the British Columbia forest with Emily Carr, with whom he was also a regular correspondent. Weston would champion foundational art education through his post at the Provincial Normal School in Vancouver (formerly King Edward School), where he taught from 1914 until 1946, and he wrote the benchmark text for art instruction in drawing and design in western Canada. He is considered highly influential in the development of another beloved West Coast artist who was also his student - Gordon Smith.
