The Group of 7
• “For almost twenty years, the members of the Group of Seven shared two great passions: creation and nature. Throughout their careers, they traveled to various regions of Canada and captured the soul of the country, portraying it in a bold and expressive style. Captivated by their subjects, they developed their techniques during their trips and created a new style of Canadian art.”

Tom Thomson was an important friend of the group of 7
• Born near Claremont, Ontario, in 1877, Thomson was raised on a farm near Owen Sound. He liked sketching and fishing.
• In 1908 he found a job at Grip Limited in Toronto. There he met J.E.H. MacDonald, and other artists who enjoyed weekend sketching excursions with him.
• By 1912 Thomson wanted to be a painter, and supported himself by working as a guide and fire ranger in Algonquin Park.
• His promising career ended with his mysterious death by drowning in 1917, a loss felt severely by all the members of the Group.
He died before the Group of 7 was famous!
