E.J. H UGHES RECEIVE d his formal artistic training at the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts, today known as Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where he graduated in 1933. Hughes continued at the school for two further years of post-graduate study. The discipline, draughtsmanship and respect for careful design instilled during his studies would remain foundational throughout his career. Yet it was not until Hughes was able to devote himself entirely to painting that his artistic vision fully crystallized. That opportunity arose after he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Artillery in 1939. Initially serving as a gunner, he was appointed an army artist in 1940 and, in

1942, became an official war artist. For the first time in his life, despite his earlier achievements as a printmaker and muralist, Hughes’s sole professional responsibility was to make art.

The Canadian War Art Program was relatively open in what it allowed artists to depict and, although Hughes did not choose his postings, what he produced in those locations was largely up to him. For the first time, he traveled beyond the borders of British Columbia and, while stationed in Petawawa, Ontario, Alaska, England and Ottawa, he was exposed to a wide range of artistic influences.

His early war work was highly detailed; compositions such as The Sergeants’ Mess (1941, collection of the Canadian War Museum) were based on dozens of carefully observed drawings. Gradually his style evolved, and by the time he produced later war images, such as Patrol Dismissing in Camp (1945, also collection of the Canadian War Museum), his application of paint had become bolder, the forms more strongly delineated and the use of colour more vivid. The paintings had taken on what might be described as a more “primitive” quality. This apparent naïveté, however, was entirely intentional on Hughes’s part. He believed that these bolder compositions possessed a greater immediacy and power than his earlier, more polished works with which he had begun the war. A similar shift can be observed in his approach to portraiture, when one compares Painter’s Mother (1939, private collection) with Portrait of Mrs. Hughes (1945, collection of the Vancouver Art Gallery).

When Hughes was demobilized in 1946, he faced the dilemma of how to support himself and his wife in British Columbia as a painter. His initial plan—that the couple would operate a boarding house in Victoria, with Hughes acting as handyman and caretaker—proved impractical; moreover, he found the capital city too noisy and disruptive to his painting process. The method he had developed and refined during the war demanded sustained concentration, intensive draughtsmanship and long periods of solitary labour.

Before beginning a painting, Hughes typically produced a series of drawings that he developed into a full “cartoon” of the final composition. This detailed graphite drawing was then transferred to the canvas by means of squaring-up, with each small square on the cartoon enlarged proportionally on the canvas. This painstaking process necessarily limited the number of works Hughes could produce each year. Combined with the extremely limited market for paintings in the immediate post-war period, his circumstances were often precarious. Fortunately, his exceptional abilities as a draughtsman had not gone unnoticed and, in 1947, on the recommendation of Lawren Harris, Hughes was awarded the first Emily Carr Scholarship. This support allowed him to travel throughout British Columbia to pursue his drawing practice. The detailed studies he made on location subsequently formed the basis of cartoons and finished paintings in the studio.

Collection Not for sale with this lot

Hughes divided the scholarship funds between 1947 and 1948, undertaking sketching trips up the coast to Prince Rupert in 1947 and on Vancouver Island in 1948.

Having spent most of his life on the West Coast, Hughes was deeply familiar with the steamers that traveled between Victoria, Nanaimo and Vancouver. He greatly admired these vessels and later lamented their disappearance from the coast following the introduction of the government ferry system. His paintings of coastal boats have long been regarded as among his most accomplished works, and Coastal Boats Near Sidney, BC stands as one of the finest of these compositions. The artist created it while living at 239 Menzies Street in Victoria. The painting is based on

numerous drawings Hughes executed during his early scholarship sketching trips (figures 1 and 2).

The boat on the left is the three-funnelled Princess Victoria. On the right is the Motor Princess, which ran between Sidney, 18 miles north of Victoria on Vancouver Island, and Bellingham, Washington, for three years. Later, due to stiff competition from Puget Sound Navigation Company, it was reassigned to the Nanaimo-Vancouver route to aid the service provided by the Princess Patricia, which had little provision for automobiles.

Hughes’s work was always grounded in his on-site sketches and the detailed colour notes he recorded on the scene; his finished paintings are not, however, literal transcriptions

of observed reality. Rather, they are carefully considered interpretations, nuanced through compositional adjustment— strengthening an accent here, defining a rhythm there—to produce an image of striking clarity and conviction. Nothing is left to chance: every element is deliberate. When one considers that a painting such as Coastal Boats Near Sidney, BC required 8 to 12 months of twelve-hour days to complete, the sense of vitality and movement achieved is remarkable.

It is improbable that two coastal steamers would travel in such close proximity—but this underlying fiction is immaterial to the work’s persuasive power. The image achieves a subtle balance between realism and compositional invention. Hughes’s cartoon for the work, Steamers (figure 3), now in a private collection, includes two boys in the left foreground. In the finished painting, this human presence has been relocated to the decks of the vessels themselves, while a log in the foreground provides a directional element that draws the eye into the composition. This adjustment allowed Hughes to enrich the detail of the mid-ground boats. That the principal subject occupies the upper half of the canvas and is partially obscured by foreground elements—water, rocky islets, boats and seagulls—demonstrates the audacity and confidence of Hughes’s compositional strategy. The small groups of passengers enliven and humanize a powerful scene, notably the tiny cluster gathered at the bow of the rear vessel, an element absent from the cartoon.

A powerful sense of movement animates the painting. The stylized depiction of smoke trailing from the leading boat, the rhythmic patterning of the waves, the foaming seas around the hulls and the near vessel’s proximity to the picture’s edge, all suggest forward motion. The curvature of the shoreline, echoed by the shapes of the boats themselves, further reinforces this momentum.

The significance of Coastal Boats Near Sidney, BC is underscored by its institutional history. Of all the works by the artist selected by Ian M. Thom for his monograph E.J. Hughes (Vancouver Art Gallery, 2002, figures 4 and 5), this painting was chosen for the front cover of the publication accompanying the major Hughes retrospective exhibition and the cartoon was featured on the back cover. The same image was also used by the Vancouver Art Gallery as the principal exterior banner for the exhibition (figure 6), affirming its status as a defining and representative work within Hughes’s oeuvre.

Hughes has created a painting with both immediate presence and a timeless, otherworldly quality. While vessels such as these are now distant memories along the coastal ferry routes, Hughes’s curious manipulation of light introduces a subtle sense of unreality. The brightly illuminated sides of the boats and the highlights on the rocks suggest a light source within the viewer’s space, while the sky’s gradual lightening towards the horizon implies illumination from behind. Light seems to emanate from both directions simultaneously, allowing Hughes to silhouette the

distant trees and mountains while sharply articulating the boats, waves and characteristically large seagulls.

The work is richly evocative of the maritime history of the coast and of the vivid natural beauty that defines Canada and the waters of southern British Columbia. Hughes’s great achievement is that it is nearly impossible to think of this region without recalling his images. Coastal Boats Near Sidney, BC is quintessentially Canadian and shows Hughes at the height of his powers. The painting possesses an almost uncanny perfection: remove any element and the whole would be diminished. Here, Hughes

weaves observation and invention into a compelling and entirely believable vision of the world.

This work was donated to Emily Carr University of Art + Design by Peter and Joanne Brown, in honour of its prestigious graduate E.J. Hughes.

Consignor proceeds from the sale of this work will support student awards at Emily Carr University, funding the next generation of artists and designers.

a) All representations or statements made by the Auction House, or in the Consignment Agreement, or in the catalogue or other publication or report as to the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness, provenance, condition or estimated selling price of the Lot are statements of opinion only. The Buyer agrees that the Auction House shall not be liable for any errors or omissions in the catalogue or any supplementary material produced by the Auction House;

b) All photographic representations and other illustrations presented in the catalogue are solely for guidance and are not to be relied upon in terms of tone or colour or necessarily to reveal any imperfections in the Lot;

c) Many Lots are of an age or nature which precludes them from being in pristine condition. Some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way of condition report make reference to damage and/or restoration. Such information is given for guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that a Lot is free from defects, nor does any reference to particular defects imply the absence of others;

d) The prospective Buyer must satisfy themselves as to all matters referred to in a), b) and c) of this paragraph by inspection, other investigation or otherwise prior to the sale of the Lot. The Buyer acknowledges that the Buyer has not relied on the Auction House, its statements or descriptions in regard to determining whether or not to purchase a Lot. The Buyer understands it is incumbent upon the Buyer to inspect the Lot and hire any necessary experts to make the determination as to the nature, authenticity, quality and condition of any Lot. If the prospective Buyer is unable to personally view any Lot, the Auction House may, upon request, e-mail or fax a condition report describing the Lot to the prospective Buyer. Although the Auction House takes great care in executing such condition

reports in both written and verbal format, condition reports are only matters of opinion, are non-exhaustive, and the Buyer agrees that the Auction House shall not be held responsible for any errors or omissions contained within. The Buyer shall be responsible for ascertaining the condition of the Lot; and

e) The Auction House makes no representations or warranties to the Buyer that the Buyer of a Lot will acquire any copyright or other reproduction right in any purchased Lot.

7. Purchased Lot

a) The Buyer shall collect the Lot from the Auction House by 4:30 p.m. on the seventh (7th) day following the date of the auction sale, after which date the Buyer shall be responsible for all Expenses until the date the Lot is removed from the offices of the Auction House;

b) All packing, handling and shipping of any Lot by the Auction House is undertaken solely as a courtesy service to the Buyer, and will only be undertaken at the discretion of the Auction House and at the Buyer’s risk. Prior to all packing and shipping, the Auction House must receive a fully completed and signed Shipping Authorization Form for Property and payment in full of all purchases; and

c) The Auction House shall not be liable for any damage to glass or frames of the Lot and shall not be liable for any errors or omissions or damage caused by packers and shippers, whether or not such agent was recommended by the Auction House.

8. Risk

a) The purchased Lot shall be at the Consignor’s risk in all respects for seven (7) days after the auction sale, after which the Lot will be at the Buyer’s risk. The Buyer may arrange insurance coverage through the Auction House at the then prevailing rates and subject to the then existing policy; and

b) Neither the Auction House nor its employees nor its agents shall be liable for any loss or damage of any kind to the Lot, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while any Lot is in or under the custody or control of the Auction House. Proceeds received from the insurance shall be the extent of the Auction House’s liability for any loss, damage or diminution in value.

9. Non-payment and Failure to Collect Lot(s)

If the Buyer fails either to pay for or to take away any Lot by 4:30 p.m. on the seventh (7th) day following the date of the auction sale, the Auction House may in its absolute discretion be entitled to one or more of the following remedies without providing further notice to the Buyer and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the Auction House or the Consignor may have:

a) To issue judicial proceedings against the Buyer for damages for breach of contract together with the costs of such proceedings on a full indemnity basis;

b) To rescind the sale of that or any other Lot(s) sold to the Buyer;

after payment of the Purchase Price and Expenses to the Auction House;

e) To charge interest on the Purchase Price at the rate of five percent (5%) per month above the Royal Bank of Canada base rate at the time of the auction sale and adjusted month to month thereafter;

f) To retain that or any other Lot sold to or consigned by the Buyer at the same or any other auction and release the same only after payment of the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price;

g) To apply any Proceeds of Sale of any Lot then due or at any time thereafter becoming due to the Buyer towards settlement of the Purchase Price, and the Auction House shall be entitled to a lien on any other property of the Buyer that is in the Auction House’s possession for any purpose;

h) To apply any payments made by the Buyer to the Auction House towards any sums owing from the Buyer to the Auction House without regard to any directions received from the Buyer or their agent, whether express or implied;

i) In the absolute discretion of the Auction House, to refuse or revoke the Buyer’s registration in any future auctions held by the Auction House; and

j) All the above rights and remedies granted to the Auction House may be assigned to the Consignor at the Auction House’s discretion. Further, the Auction House may disclose to the Consignor the Buyer’s identity, contact information and other such information as the Consignor may need in order to maintain a claim against the Buyer for non-payment.

10. No Warranty

The Auction House, its employees and agents shall not be responsible for the correctness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age, size, medium, attribution, genuineness or provenance of any Lot or for any other errors of description or for any faults or defects in any Lot, and no warranty whatsoever is given by the Auction House, its employees or agents in respect of any Lot, and any express or implied conditions or warranties are hereby excluded.

The Auction House shall not be responsible or liable in the making of any such bid by its employees or agents;

c) In the event that the Auction House has received more than one Absentee Bid Form on a Lot for an identical amount and at auction those absentee bids are the highest bids for that Lot, the Lot shall be Knocked Down to the person whose Absentee Bid Form was received first; and

d) At the discretion of the Auction House, the Auction House

may execute bids in the live auction, if appropriately instructed by telephone or through Heffel’s Digital Saleroom, on behalf of the prospective Buyer, and the prospective Buyer hereby agrees that neither the Auction House nor its employees nor agents shall be liable to either the Buyer or the Consignor for any neglect or default in making such a bid.

12. Export Permits

Without limitation, the Buyer acknowledges that certain property of Canadian cultural importance sold by the Auction House may be subject to the provisions of the Cultural Property Export and Import Act (Canada), and that compliance with the provisions of the said act is the sole responsibility of the Buyer.

The Auction House shall also have the right to sell such Lots by public or private sale and on such terms

as the Auction House shall alone determine, and shall deduct from the Proceeds of Sale any sum owing to the Auction House or to any associated company of the Auction House including Expenses, before remitting the balance to the Consignor.

If the Consignor cannot be traced, the Auction House shall place the funds in a bank account in the name of the Auction House for the Consignor.

In such event, the Consignor’s obligations to the Auction House hereunder with respect to such a Lot are the same as if it had been sold at auction. The Auction House shall continue to have the exclusive right to sell any unsold Lots after the said period of ninety (90) days, until such time as the Auction House is notified in writing by the Consignor that such right is terminated.

10. Consignor’s Sales Tax Status

The Consignor shall give to the Auction House all relevant information as to their Sales Tax status with regard to the Lot to be sold, which the Consignor warrants is and will be correct and upon which the Auction House shall be entitled to rely.

H E ff E l TAKES GREAT pride in being the leader in the Canadian fine art auction industry and has an unparalleled track record. We are proud to have been the dominant auction house in the Canadian art market from 2004 to the present. Our firm’s growth and success has been built on hard work and innovation, our commitment to our Clients and our deep respect for the fine art we offer. At Heffel we treat our consignments with great care and respect, and consider it an honour to have them pass through our hands. We are fully cognizant of the historical value of the works we handle and their place in art history.

Heffel, to further define its distinction in the Canadian art auction industry, has taken the following initiative. David and Robert Heffel, second-generation art dealers of the Company’s founding Heffel family, have personally crafted the foundation documents (as published on our website www.heffel.com): Heffel’s Corporate Constitutional Values and Heffel’s Code of Business Conduct, Ethics and Practices. We believe the values and ethics set out in these documents will lay in stone our moral compass. Heffel has flourished through more than four decades of change, since 1978, proof that our hard work, commitment, philosophy, honour and ethics in all that we do serve our Clients well.

Heffel’s Employees and Shareholders are committed to Heffel’s Code of Business Conduct, Ethics and Practices, together with Heffel’s Corporate Constitutional Values, our Terms and Conditions of Business and related corporate policies, all as amended from time to time, with respect to our Clients, and look forward to continued shared success in this auction season and ongoing.

Heffel Gallery Limited (“Heffel” or “Auction House”) provides professional guidance and assistance to have Property packed, insured and forwarded at the Property Owner’s expense and risk pursuant to Heffel’s Terms and Conditions of Business and Property Collection Notice, as published in the auction sale catalogue and online. The Property Owner is aware and accepts that Heffel does not operate a full-service fine art packing business and shall provide such assistance for the convenience only of the Property Owner.

Heffel agrees to ship your Property (the “Property”), as described by sale and Lot number or such other designation on the front side of this Shipping Authorization Form for Property, subject to the following terms and conditions:

1. If the Property has been purchased at an auction or private sale conducted by Heffel, Heffel will not pack and ship, or release the Property, until payment in full of the purchase price for the Property, including the Buyer’s Premium and any applicable sales tax has been received in funds cleared by Heffel.

2. All packing and shipping services offered by Heffel must be preceded by a completed and signed Shipping Authorization Form for Property which releases Heffel from any liability that may result from damage sustained by the Property during packing and shipping.

3. The Property Owner agrees that Heffel’s liability for any loss or damage to the Property shall be limited according to the following terms:

a) Lots are only covered by insurance under the Terms and Conditions of the Fine Arts Insurance Policy provided to Heffel if the Property Owner so authorizes;

b) The rate of the insurance premium payable by the Property Owner is $ 15 per $ 1,000 (1.5% of the value). The value of insurance is determined by the High Estimate value, or Purchase Price, or Appraised Value or for the alternative amount as listed and defined under Insured Value while in transit as specified in the Shipping Authorization Form for Property. Heffel will charge a flat rate fee of $ 40 should the value be less than $ 2,500;

c) The value for which a Lot is insured under the Fine Arts Insurance Policy provided to Heffel in accordance with Condition 3.b above shall be the total amount due to the Property Owner in the event of a successful claim being made against the Auction House;

d) With regard to loss or damage, however caused, not covered by Heffel’s Insurance Underwriters, the Property Owner hereby releases Heffel, its employees, agents and contractors with respect to such damage;

e) Heffel does not accept responsibility for Lots damaged by changes in atmospheric conditions and Heffel shall not be liable for such damage nor for any other damage to picture frames or to glass in picture frames;

f) In no event will Heffel be liable for damage to glass, frames or ceramics;

g) If your Property is damaged in transit, please contact the Shipping Department promptly and provide photographs of the damage, retain the shipping box and materials and gather all relevant information;

h) If the Property Owner instructs Heffel not to insure a Lot, it shall at all times remain at the risk of the Property Owner, who hereby undertakes to:

(i) Indemnify Heffel against all claims made or proceedings brought against Heffel in respect of loss or damage to the Lot of whatever nature, howsoever and wheresoever occurred, and in any circumstances even where negligence is alleged or proven;

(ii) Reimburse Heffel for all Expenses incurred by Heffel. Any payment which Heffel shall make in respect of such loss or damage or Expenses shall be binding upon the Property Owner and shall be accepted by the Property Owner as conclusive evidence that Heffel was liable to make such payment; and

(iii) Notify any insurer of the existence of the indemnity contained in these Terms and Conditions for Shipping

4. All such works are packed at the Property Owner’s risk and then must be transported by a Heffel approved third-party carrier. Prior to export, works may be subject to the Cultural Property Export and Import Act (Canada), and compliance with the provisions of the said act is the sole responsibility of the Property Owner.

5. Heffel shall have the right to subcontract other parties in order to fulfill its obligation under these Terms and Conditions for Shipping.

6. As per section B.4 of Heffel’s Terms and Conditions of Business, all or part of the Sales Tax may be exempt in certain circumstances if the Lot is delivered outside of the jurisdiction of sale of the Lot. Shipments out of the jurisdiction of sale of the Lot(s) shall only be eligible for exemption from Sales Tax if shipped directly from the Auction House with shipping contracted by the Auction House. All claims for Sales Tax exemption must be made prior to or at the time of payment of the Purchase Price. Sales Tax will not be refunded once the Auction House has released the Lot. The Buyer agrees and shall fully indemnify the Auction House for any amount claimed by any taxing authority due as Sales Tax upon the sale of the Lot, including any related costs, legal fees, interest and penalties.

7. All customs duties, import taxes and related charges are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Heffel is not liable for any such fees or delays related to international shipping or customs clearance.
