Netherlands-born Vancouver artist John Vanderpant was photographing steel-enforced concrete grain towers as early as the mid-1920s, around the same time Le Curbosier (1887-1965) published Towards a New Architecture (1923, en français), which featured photos of grain towers, some of them hand-tinted with gouache.
The picture above is Vanderpant's Colonnades on Parade (c.1926); the one below, of an opened celery stalk, is his White Desire (1934).
