Bertram Brooker
Abstract
Bertram Brooker (1888-1955) was a multi-talented Canadian artist who broke new
ground in advertising, film and visual art. In 1937, his achievements in
literature were awarded with the first Governor General’s Literary Award. His
intermedia experiments are precursors of the interdisciplinary explorations of
Marshall McLuhan. This paper serves as a general introduction to, and ready
reference for, the artist and his work.
