John Innes was an early painter of the Canadian West. His many vocational pursuits, including cartoonist for the Calgary Herald, surveyor, rancher, soldier and published writer fused together to inform his artistic approach. Originally from England, Innes's work was rooted in a European approach to painting, but in subject matter, he exhibited a deep affection for the Canadian land. Early in his life, Innes worked with a survey party in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies making maps and sketches for Ross, Mann and Holt. He was a rancher in Calgary, then moved to the mouth of High River, where he sold horses, and during this time had contact with the Blackfeet Indians in the area. Innes admired the free spirit present in the west, and observed the changes brought by the coming of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the growth of settlements, particularly as it affected First Nations peoples, and he was determined to document what he observed.
