HORATIO WALKER, born at Listowel, Ont., Canada (1858-1938), was a strong and vigorous painter who used water-colour with fine distinction. His work shows atmosphere and quality and he used the every-day life of farm and countryside for his subjects and understood its character, investing this life with a quaint and ro mantic air. While he worked largely in Canada, most of his work was exhibited in the United States and especially in New York.
