Edward “Ted” Fenwick Zuber - Canadian Artists

Edward (Ted) Fenwick Zuber is a professional painter well-known for his work as a War Artist from the Canadian government. He was born in 1932 in Montreal, Quebec. He started his study in art at the École des Beaux-Arts de Montreal, attended Queen’s University (fine arts) and apprenticed to the spiritual painter Matthew Martirano.
Throughout his experience on the Korean Front, Zuber had a sketch book with him to record the action around him. During which time he shaped many drawings and maintains a full “Sketch diary”. These pictorial records of Canada’s Korean association are chiefly precious historically, as there was no official war painter assigned to Canada’s Korean involvement. Thirteen paintings from Zuber’s “Korean War Series” are now in the set of the Canadian War Museum.
On December 17, 1991 Zuber was awarded with Kuwait and Gulf medal by Chief of the Defense Staff, General John de Chastelain. He was even awarded with the Korean Medal on November 11, in the year 1991 together with the other Canadians who served in Korea. Zuber is the only Canadian service man or woman to have both the Korean War award and the Gulf War medal.
