Fred Varley Varley had made a promising start as an
artist after two years at art school in Antwerp, and then faced a lack of opportunity to advance quickly in England.
Varley was always the odd man out among the Group members due to his popularity as a portrait painter.

Arthur Lismer Arthur Lismer was born in Sheffield, England
and received his training there and in Antwerp before emigrating to Canada in 1911.
A gifted writer and educator who had early established his own design business in Sheffield, he brought the sense of pioneer with him to Canada, where he sensed the opportunity for unlimited creation and the possibility of Utopian ideals.
By 1920 Lismer had made a considerable mark as a teacher and educator, and also contributed major works to the Canadian War Memorials domestic program

J.E.H. MacDonald Usually called “Jim” by his colleagues,
was born in Durham, England. By the time MacDonald met Harris he
was a leading commercial artist in Toronto, and excellent writer and a poet.
The northern light, the pattern of snow, the profiles of conifer trees, and a sense of the mystery embedded in the rawness of nature all touched a nerve for MacDonald
