Kenneth Lochhead was born in 1926. He became Director of the University of Saskatchewan School of Art in Regina in 1950. In 1955, he began the Emma Lake Professional Artists' Workshops, which attracted artists such as Barnett Newman, Kenneth Noland, Jack Shadbolt and the critic Clement Greenberg to Saskatchewan. Lochhead was one of the "Regina Five" painters who first exhibited together at the National Gallery in 1961. After Regina, Lochhead continued to teach painting and drawing at the University of Manitoba, York University and the University of Ottawa. A painter's painter, Lochhead's work is known for its compositional finesse and often exuberant use of colour.

Lochhead was an Officer of the Order of Canada, a recipient of an Honorary Doctors of Laws, University of Regina, and a 2006 recipient of the Governor-General's Award in Visual and Media Arts. He died in 2006.
