Charles Pachter is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists.

His iconic, uplifting, and patriotic images have independently earned their place in the nation's museums.

For the uninitiated, his work is accessible and beloved (notably his amazing hockey mural at Toronto's College Street subway station).

While Pachter’s work shares some characteristics with Jim Dine and David Hockney, his style is resoundingly charming, singular, and uniquely Canadian.

The barn, along with Queen Elizabeth and the moose, forms a trio of icons that Pachter has repeatedly visited over the course of his career.

Pachter’s graphics are an ideal choice for starting a collection of Canadian art.

This work appears on the cover of the 1992 best-selling book "Charles Pachter: Canadian Painter" by Bogomila Welsh-Ovcharov.
