Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

64 pages, not counting covers. Illustrations (some in color). Inscribed by the editor on the front cover. The purpose behind the author's desire to preserve the "colourful five per cent" in water colours is to record the interesting people, so that we can have that heritage to look back on in the future. There are no social barriers or time restraints, as long as these members of the "colourful five per cent" have something that sets them apart from 95% of the people. The book is profusely illustrated; most illustrations are in black and white, and fifteen are in color. Includes stories, poems, photographs, and drawings. Jim Robb has called the Yukon his home for over 50 years. He specializes in recording by camera, ink or watercolour and pastels the "Colourful Five Per Cent", a phrase he coined to describe the colourful and unusual characters and historical buildings of the North. His career as an artist in the Yukon began in the 1950s. Robb was 22 years old when left Montreal in 1955 and moved to Whitehorse. His early artwork featured pastel and charcoal drawings on raw moose hide. His first sale was three 8x4 foot murals for the bar in the Taku Hotel in Whitehorse in 1957. In 1961 he began to focus on photography, and pen, ink, and watercolour drawings. He would find interesting people and cabins to sketch across the territory - including in Carcross, Carmacks, and Dawson City. He would also follow tips from people working for the mining companies who advised him about interesting shacks they had seen out in the back country. His style took shape, and he began to focus on "the colourful five per cent." It's a term he created and that has become woven into the fabric of life in the Yukon. "I'm not interested in 95 per cent of the population," he says. "I'm interested in the interesting and unique people who set themselves apart at what they work at, and their philosophy in life."
