FOR more than 50 years, West
Vancouver has been home to one of
Canada’s premier artists — painter
Gordon Smith.

Gordon and his wite Marion have been a gra
cious presence and integral part of the fabric of
the arts community in Vancouver,
Gordon and Marion Smith were part of a
growing group of artists that chose 10 nove to
West Vancouver in the 1950s,
In selecting Arthur Erickson and Geotf Massey
to design their first home in 1953, they exposed
the community to the possibilities of modern
architecture and its sensitivity to site. Uheir see-
ond home, completed in 1966, is one of the
finest examples of Erickson residential design,
with characteristic walls of glass, supported by strong post and
beam elements, all in harmony with the natural landscape.
Gordon Smith's paintings have journeyed from his West
Vancouver studios to galleries and collections around the world.
