Belmore Browne held his first one man
show in our galleries in 1923. At that time

his paintings were little known outside of his
profession, but his name was familiar to the
2 ElkCountry
public through his conquest of M. McKinley,
his adventurous years in the Alaskan wilderness and his stories of wild animal collecting
in far off places.
Being a stubborn lover of rugged scenery,
he built a cabin at Banff in the Canadian
Rockies and for the past seven years has
made his home there. With his own ponies
and tepee of Indian make, he has spent each
summer in exploring the mountains, streams
and valleys that form the vast, scenic upheaval that surrounds his home. For weeks
at a time he is out of touch with mankind,
and his only visitors are the wild animals
that still travel the western mountains.
No man is more at home in the wilderness
and no man paints the mountains with more
reverence and sincerity than he.
During the past seven years Mr. Browne's
work has been steadily gaining in public
esteem. His canvases are in demand at the
important exhibitions. One of his winter
pictures of Lake Louise hangs in the permanent collection of the Memorial Art Gallery
in Rochester. His picture called "The Chiefs
Canoe" which hung in the Winter Exhibition of the National Academy of Design has
