NotesCanadian artist Walter J. Phillips (1884-1963) is most well known for his pioneering of the colour woodblock form, and he also produced numerous works in watercolours and etchings. Among many other places around the world, Phillips lived primarily in Canada, specifically in Winnipeg, Banff, and Victoria. His artwork often features scenes of the Canadian landscape, primarily of Western Canada and of its residents, along with First Nation subjects and scenes.
