From Internet: "FORSMAN, Robert James April 20, 1942 - December 9, 2021 "The artist sees what others only catch a glimpse of." Leonardo da Vinci Robert was an extraordinary artist who drew with precision by age five, graduated from the Vancouver School of Art in 1970, and was selected as an exhibitor at the 1988 BC Festival of the Arts, winning First Place for his drawing of Richmond's Minoru Chapel. With a heightened sensitivity to the world around him, he saw minutiae others missed, and incorporated this into his art creating pictures perfectly scaled and meticulously detailed. In 2001 one of his pieces was presented to England's Duke of Kent from the City of Richmond to commemorate the royal visit. His art appears in books about the heritage of Steveston, many private and corporate collections, the Vancouver City Archives and the Special Collections department of the UBC library."
