    Thomas William Fripp (1864 - 1931)

    An important early 20th century British Columbia (Canada) painter, draftsman and leader in the art community, Thomas William Fripp was born in London, England; emigrated to British Columbia in 1893; and died in Vancouver where he had lived since 1904. (1)

    Although he briefly worked as a photographer (c.1904 - 1906) and has painted in oils, his primary medium was watercolor. His subjects were the landscapes, forests, rivers, mountains, lakes and coastlines of southern British Columbia - from Vancouver Island to the Rocky Mountains. His style was Realism*. AskART has several excellent illustrations of his work; Mount Lefroy is a particularly good example.
