Emile Walters (1893 - 1977) Oil on Canvas board, signed lower right, measures 12 x16 and 18 x 22 inches w/frame. Winter scenes are common in Emile Walter's oeuvre and reflect his affinity with Impressionism. A landscape painter, Walters particularly enjoyed the scenery of central Pennsylvania. He later specialized in views of Iceland (where he lived for a time), Greenland, and the Arctic regions. Walters is widely represented in museums throughout the world. Born in Winnipeg, Ontario, Canada, Walters moved to the United States in 1898. He studied at Chicago's Art Institute, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Tiffany Foundation. Exhibited widely, he received prizes from the Art Institute and the National Academy of Design, as well as the Order of the Falcon from King Christian of Denmark. Walters was a painting instructor for summer sessions at The Pennsylvania State University from 1922 to 1934, where he taught Hobson Pittman.
