Charles Pachter is one of the most collected and cherished Canadian artists. 

His iconic, uplifting and patriotic images have 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.

Pachter's "Rooster" is an early image from a period where the artist was still experimenting with mood, style and text. Yet it shares a certain confidence, playfulness and color optimism evocative of his signature pieces. 

Pachter’s graphics are an ideal choice for starting a collection of Canadian art.
