Harry (1927-1995) and Jessie Webb (1930-2011) were among an influential group of artists, poets and musicians working in Vancouver in the 1950s. For nearly a decade, they collaborated on a series of innovative progressive prints made with linoleum blocks. Their works were featured in exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery and in publications throughout the 1950s. They were also very involved in the local jazz scene, designing posters for the legendary Cellar Jazz Club. In later years, Harry became a BCSLA landscape architect, and Jessie continued with her printmaking and painting and designing murals. Leonard Forest featured the couple in his 1964 National Film Board documentary, In Search of Innocence, that profiled Vancouver artists and jazz musicians. Their fascinating story is being told by their daughter, Adrienne Brown, BCSLA, FCSLA, for the first time.
