Paul Rand immigrated to Canada from Germany, settling in 1926 in Vancouver, where he took courses at the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts with Jock Macdonald, W.P. Weston and Frederick Varley. Like many well-known artists of the time, such as Group of Seven artist A.J. Casson, Rand worked in commercial art firms and painted on weekends and holidays. He became part of a new generation of artists on the West Coast, showing at both the British Columbia Society of Artists annual exhibitions and the B.C. Artists’ Annual Exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
