Bobak and Lamb-Bobak

 Or, maybe I should have entitled this post "Bobak and Lamb" because Bruno Bobak's wife Molly is often referred to by her father's name; as in "Molly Lamb."  Her father was British Columbia mining engineer and aspiring photographer Henry Mortimer Lamb.  She was born out of wedlock to him and her mother Alice Mary Price.  Price was a free-spirited woman.  When Henry Mortimer later asked to marry her she refused.  He raised Molly as a member of his "legal" [?] family.  As an aspiring photographer, Henry Mortimer often had artists and bohemian types over to his house.  Jack Shadbolt became Molly's artistic mentor.  Anyhoooo, ... when Molly had to find her birth certificate for something decades into adulthood, she found out the name on the birth certificate wasn't even "Lamb."

Anyhow, I mention reading a book about them in the 2022-09-03 entry at my Giant Book Depository, and this is the page where I shall show four examples of their work, chosen pretty much at random.

First, Bruno Bobak:

This image was supposed to go under the war artist image that had been painted earlier and, actually, inserted into my post earlier.  Blogger decided to put it above the first image.  Even though the blinking cursor had been blinking its little blink two lines below the first image.

Bruno and Molly met in England as offical Canadian war artists

Now, Molly Lamb:

Fucking blogger keeps inserting images all over the place and moving the captions around.
Anyway, Molly Lamb Bobak's flower paintings were a big part of her output.

See what I mean about the images and captions?  All over the fucking place.  Anyway, she also painted crowd scenes.  This is the lighting of the Christmas tree in front of the New Brunswick legislature.

Holy fucking Christ!  Before pressing "Publish" for this post, the Christmas Tree painting's image had been below the second water colour of flowers.  Mother-fucker.
