description: This beautifully illustrated volume presents a celebration of the life and work of Stanford Perrott, a Western watercolorist and art educator. A brilliant educator at the Alberta College of Art, Perrott spent thirty-seven years guiding a generation of Alberta artists.Under his tutelage, young painters learned to challenge the boundaries of colonialism and to embrace new artistic visions and expressions. Foran explores Perrott's inner conflict as he sought to balance his own creative energies as a master watercolorist with his chosen fifty-year role as a teacher, mentor, and champion of Alberta's burgeoning artistic community. Generously illustrated with many photographs and reproductions, The Chalk and the Easel is an exploration of Stanford Perrott's enduring personal legacy.
