"Homer Ransford Watson (January 14, 1855 \u2013 May 30, 1936) 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 (1918\u20131922) of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, as well as a founding member and first president (1907\u20131911) of the Canadian Art Club."@en .
