Phillips is known for his extraordinary body of work in both woodcut and watercolour. Phillips had a particular interest in waterfalls, seeking them out on his sketching rambles. Amongst his depictions of these tumbling and foaming wonders, none are more outstanding than his watercolours of Johnson’s Creek’s waterfalls near Banff. His sensitive appreciation is clear in his unpublished manuscript I Like Waterfalls. He wrote, “Water is the most expressive element in nature. It responds to every mood from tranquility to turbulence…Here is water in all its forms ~ the clear stream, foam, spray, and still smaller drops suspended in the air ~ a translucent veil in which a rainbow is often woven.” Phillips described several falls along Johnson’s Creek, including this particular one, stating, “On my next trip I came upon a waterfall spilling into an immense water~worn cavity in the rock…Within the cave the sound of the falling water was increased to a deafening roar.” The Cave, Johnson’s Creek, with its almost miraculous rendering of this dramatic plunging waterfall amidst exquisite textures of the rockface, shows Phillips at his most masterful. ESTIMATE: $15,000 ~ 20,000

This informal working partnership produced an extraordinary body of work for both artists and some of the finest prints of the 1930s. Flower Girls is one of these sought~after images produced during this time. Stephen Coppel notes, “The repeated angular shapes and colour patterns give dynamic energy to this study of movement.” Early impressions of this print are on buff oriental laid paper and late impressions are on thicker oriental paper. This is a fine impression with strong colours on thicker oriental paper. ESTIMATE: $18,000 ~ 22,000
