is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists.

His iconic, uplifting, and patriotic images retain 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.

In this drawing, Pachter depicts Queen Elizabeth engaging in a lighthearted moment.

Pachter's drawings are paradigms of his creative genius and his ability to convey complex emotional images with a stylistic simplicity as a master draftsman.
