Biography: George Horne Russell (AKA: G. Horne Russell) was a painter, draftsman and a President of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. He was born in Banff, Scotland and emigrated to Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1890. He lived there and at his summer home in St. Andrews, New Brunswick for the rest of his life. After a brief illness he died at Chipman Memorial Hospital in St. Stephen, New Brunswick, a town about 15 miles north of St. Andrews. His primary medium was oil on canvas and his primary subject was commissioned society portraits. He is also famous for several monumental paintings of the Rocky Mountains commissioned by the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk Railway. He exhibited with the RCA almost every year from 1893 to 1933. He also exhibited with the Art Association of Montreal [now the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts] from 1895 to 1933 and with the Ontario Society of Artists in 1910 and 1918. Russell's works are actively traded on the Canadian auction market, they are in many private collections, and they are in several major public collections.
