From the d.j.: "Born in Calgary in 1905 into a family with a strong interest in architecture and the visual arts, Bates pursued a career in both painting and architecture with unwavering dedication and intensity. His work in both his chosen fields stands comparison with some of the leading international figures in twentieth-century art. Evocative of some of the best expressionist figurative painting of this century, these paintings possess an integrity and unmistakable stylistic character that stamp them as Bates's own."
