Early career Born in Montreal, Quebec in 1888 and after graduating from McGill University with a degree in civil engineering he moved to Saint Boniface, Manitoba where his bilingual Montreal upbringing fostered quick assimilation into the local French and Metis culture. Political career Bilingual and bicultural, John Caswell Davis"s political abilities were appreciated as a bridge to unify a French minority intent on asserting itself culturally and politically within a Canada dominated by the English majority. His promising political career was cut short by his untimely death in 1953 while only 63 years old.

Member of the Liberal Party and gifted orator John Caswell Davis entered the senate in 1949. While never addressing 20th-century modernism, Caswell Davis drew inspiration from the 19th century concerns of painters such as Millet and the Barbizon School"s commitment to landscape the portrayal of more humble members of society. Individuals from all stations of life were C Doctorate"s subjects, including prime ministers and politicians, wealthy and famous, colourful voyageurs and trappers, members of first nation Canada, humble farmers, tradesmen, merchants, and housekeepers.
