Walter Seymour Allward [SEP] Introduction
Walter Seymour Allward, (18 November 1876 – 24 April 1955) was a Canadian monumental sculptor best known for the Canadian National Vimy Memorial. He has been widely praised for his "original sense of spatial composition, his mastery of the classical form and his brilliant craftsmanship". Allward's 1917 heroic monument, the Bell Telephone Memorial, has been seen as the finest example of his early works. It brought the sculptor to fame and led to Allward later creating the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France, his most renowned work. Some of the sculptor's works have also been acquired by the National Gallery in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
