Edward R. Glen (1887-1963) was born and died at London, Ontario. His first art training was received at the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts under William Merritt Chase. In 1910, he went to Paris to the Academie Julien, where he studied under Paul-Albert Laurens and Paul-Jean Gervais. Glen was awarded a special traveling scholarship by the Royal Canadian Academy just before the first war and was later to spend a further two years in France and England. He went on a painting trip to North Africa in 1929. Noted in London for his portraits and landscapes done in an impressionistic style, Glen had a number of one-man shows throughout Western Ontario and also exhibited at Royal Canadian Academy and Canadian National Exhibition. A special memorial retrospective exhibition was held at the Glen Gallery, London, Ontario in 1973.
