Steer

Steer, Philip Wilson, 1860-1942, English landscape painter. Steer worked largely in the tradition of French impressionist painting and was considered the greatest English landscape painter of his day. He brought to his subjects a considerable understanding of pattern, color, space, and especially light effects. Examples of his work are Chepstow Castle, Music Room (Tate Gall., London) and a self-portrait (Uffizi). The Tate Gallery owns many of his works.

Steer has multiple meanings:

• Steering mechanisms used to turn while controlling the operation of a vehicle.
• Castrated male cattle (ox).
• "Steer (song)", a song by Missy Higgins.
• George Steer, British journalist and soldier.
