L. Pokrant Biography
(1947) RCA, MSA
Luther Pokrant was born in southwestern Manitoba in 1947. He gradu- ated with a BFA from the University of Manitoba in 1969, and he received his MA from New Mexico State University in 1970. He later served as a lecturer at the University of Regina for four years.
As an avid outdoorsman and fisherman his work is often inspired by the natural beauty of wilderness places. Water, watercraft, shorelines and float- ing lilies are recurring themes in his work, as is the reflective quality of water, which is an abiding interest for the artist.
Since 1969 Pokrant has exhibited extensively, and has been honoured with many commissions. He is a member of the Manitoba Society of Artists and the Royal Cana- dian Academy of Artists. Of his long career Pokrant writes, “Art for me is a lifelong process and a magical journey that holds endless fascination.” His paintings are represented in many private and corporate collections such as Shell Canada, British Petroleum, Cargill Grain Ltd, Coca Cola, the Bronfman Claridge Collection, CIBC, Manitoba Hydro, and Sask Tel.
