About Mooseamour 17/80

The majestic Moose is just one of many iconic Canadian images to which contemporary artist Charles Pachter has devoted many pieces to. Rendered in a neutral palette this unframed lithograph features the profile of a lone moose surrounded by rugged wilderness. Renowned for his often playful pop artwork, Pachter is a gifted painter, printmaker, sculptor, designer, historian and author. He attributes his interest in this image to a childhood encounter with a moose at a local fair. (Amour is French for love.)

“So, I was an impressionable young kid and what I didn’t realize is how much a childhood experience became something of an imprint for my entire career as an adult.” Charles Pachter

Charles Pachter studied at the University of Toronto, the Sorbonne in Paris, and the Cranbrook Academy of Art in the USA.
