One of the outstanding painters from Western Canada is David More. He is a member of a group of landscape painters that started to appear in the 1970s, whose goal was to transform the ordinary into something beautiful and to defy convention with daring acts of creation. More has consistently gone back to the garden throughout his career as a profoundly practical yet ritualistic area of human endeavor. The garden is a place of refuge and sanctuary, full of color and scent, order and wilderness. The garden is a private area, carefully tended and planted, observed either in the open air or through the living room window. The garden is a public area, a park where people congregate to allow their natures to flourish. The garden is the world, the nature that sustains and surrounds us, the environment in which we all live, and it is our responsibility to cultivate and care for it.
Greatest Garden is a tribute to David More's lifelong fascination with the garden as a multifaceted subject. This book includes more than fifty original artworks that span a career spent in dialogue with gardens in all of their diverse manifestations. More has discovered the garden in both expected and unexpected locations thanks to his lively brushwork, keen sense of color, and talent for expressive drawing and varied composition. You are invited to stroll through the sunlit paths of Greatest Garden.
