Who was Homer Watson?
Homer Ransford Watson was a Canadian landscape painter. He was "the man who first saw Canada as Canada, rather than as dreamy blurred pastiches of European painting," according to J. Russell Harper, a former curator of Canadian art at the National Gallery of Canada. He was a member and president of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, as well as a founding member and first president of the Canadian Art Club.
