Silcox. The artworks within this guide and images required for the learning activities and culminating task can be found in the Tom Thomson Image File provided. Tom Thomson (1877–1917) is one of Canada’s most famous artists: his landscape paintings of northern Ontario have become iconic artworks, well-known throughout the country and a critical touchstone for Canadian artists. Thomson was passionate about the outdoors, and he was committed to experimenting with new ways to paint landscape. He had several friends who shared these interests, such as A.Y. Jackson (1882–1974), Lawren Harris (1885–1970), and J.E.H. MacDonald (1873–1932); a few years after his premature death, these friends helped establish the Group of Seven, a collection of artists often credited with transforming Canadian art by creating modern depictions of national landscapes.

Brandon: Colville to Goble Colville to Goble Some Thoughts on the Evolving Place of Photography in Canadian Military Art LAURA BRANDON Abstract: This article focuses on the photographic work of two Canadian military artists whose careers are separated by half a century. Alex Colville (1920–2013) used photography in his work but rarely mentioned it and never publicly exhibited or acknowledged it. Elaine Goble (born 1956) bases all her work on photography, engages explicitly with it, acknowledges it, exhibits and donates it, but does not consider herself a professional photographer. An exploration of these two artists’ relationship with photography sheds some light on how attitudes to the medium have changed in recent decades. Photography’s new prominence in the digital age has affected artists, photographers, institutions, collectors, as well as art and photo historians, and encouraged reconsideration of past practices. WENTY-ONE years ago, in 1995, I published an article in this Tjournal entitled “Genesis of a Painting: Alex Colville’s War Drawings.”1 My piece focused on the relationship between the artist’s works on paper and his finished canvases.

Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven
Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven In the early decades of the twentieth century, circumstances brought together several artists who explored and fell in love with the varied landscapes of Canada. Collectively, they agreed that the country’s magnificent wilderness regions needed to be recorded in a painting style that captured the untouched beauty of the landscapes that inspired them. Today, these artists have become the most famous amongst Canadian artists and, indeed, have become national icons. In their early careers many of the artists who would later form the Group of Seven were employed at commercial design firms. It was while working at Toronto-based design firm Grip Ltd. that Tom Thomson, J.E.H. MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frederick Varley, Frank Johnston and Franklin Carmichael first met and discovered their common artistic interests. The artists began taking weekend sketching trips together and would often gather at Toronto’s Arts and Letters Club to socialize and discuss new directions for Canadian art. Their focus on the Canadian landscape as the subject for their art reflected an increasingly nationalistic sentiment within a deep-rooted love for the natural environment of Canada. The Group’s intention was to produce work in a style that broke with European traditions in art. Their bright and bold use of paint and colour seemed a suitable complement to the aggressive expansion that the country was experiencing at the outset of the 1920s. Before the end of the decade, this new and distinctive painting style was supported by the National Gallery of Canada and gained an enthusiastic audience amongst the general public as well.

John Vanderpant and the Cultural Life of Vancouver, 19 20-1939
John Vanderpant and the Cultural Life of Vancouver, 19 20-1939 SHERYL SALLOUM The Canadian photographer John Vanderpant (1884-1939) achieved world-wide recognition for his black and white images and was "a major influence on Canadian photography in the 1920s and 1930s."1 He was also a major influence on the cultural development of the Vancouver area in those years. Vanderpant is an example of the patron who, according to Maria Tippett, helped to make Canadian culture "richly-textured, diver sified, and spontaneous" in the period between the two world wars.2 His endeavours to encourage the arts were extraordinary; his contributions to the cultural milieu of the West Coast are as unique and intriguing as his photography. Vanderpant emigrated from Holland in 1911, but he did not become a permanent Canadian resident until 1913. At that time he settled in the beautifully rugged region of southern Alberta. Attracted by its resource- rich economy and scenic expanses, Vanderpant felt that the area offered viable employment possibilities and creative freedom. These were espe cially important to the young man as he was beginning a career as a portrait photographer, and he wanted to escape restricting European traditions.3 To Vanderpant's dismay, he found that the area was artistically isolated; he yearned for a more vibrant cultural environment. It is not surprising, therefore, that he began importing American and European publications and musical recordings in order to keep himself attuned to new and avant- garde movements. Over the years he would disseminate that information, and the ways in which he would do so were distinctive.

Painting Canada Panels and Labels
PANELS AND LABELS PAINTING CANADA Canada, in the first years of the twentieth century, only held a population comparable in number to that of one major European city, despite being the second-largest country in the world. Its art scene was thriving, if behind the times, with established artists turning out variations of late nineteenth-century European styles. Canada’s own vast wilderness was deemed by the art establishment to be too raw and too wild to provide a suitable subject for the fine artist. Around 1910, a new generation of artists, determined to challenge this notion, began to form in Toronto. Their aim was to find a visual language with which to paint their native landscape – new, modern, vibrant, and uniquely Canadian. Several of them worked in a commercial engraving company, Grip Ltd. (and later, Rous & Mann): Tom Thomson, Arthur Lismer, Franklin Carmichael, Frederick Horsman Varley, and J.E.H. MacDonald. They came together with Lawren Harris, who had been actively pursuing his own vision of the Canadian landscape, Frank Johnston, and A.Y. Jackson from Montreal to begin their modernist experiment. Thomson died tragically in 1917, having made inspiring progress towards a new Canadian art in his brief, brilliant career (and World War I was another potent interruption); but in 1920, the others went on to establish Canada’s first and most famous collective of artists, the Group of Seven. Between 1920 and 1931, they held eight ground- breaking exhibitions in Toronto. In 1924 and 1925, they were received with acclaim in London at the British Empire Exhibitions.
