insuppressible sense of humor. To
some extent, this show is an ideal
antidote to the szriousness that
characterizes the current
Pilgrimage in Quest of Shadbolt.
All of this is not meant to
disparage the considerable
achievement of Vancouver's most
esteemed raster. It is merely tc
point out a common misconcep-
tion that plagues artists like
Johnny: that somehow “bigger is
better’’ almost by definition.
Ultimately, the problem with the
adulation of colossi is that the so-
called ‘‘pigmies’’ sometimes get
lost at the feet of those that dwarf
them and as a consequence we
tend to forget that pigmies are
often no fess interesting or
valuable than the acknowledged
giants who overshadow them.
