Front Jacket Excerpt:
"Behind the public figure familiar to all Canadians, the celebrated artist
and distinguished member of The Group Of Seven, was an affecionate,
intriguing, and highly opinionated man. "He was two persons," the author
writes, "one the friendly, outgoing man...the other, the creative artist
determined to achieve fulfillment whatever the cost, fiercely loyal to
Canada, and scornful of small-minded people unable to see beyond their
noses."
"This intimate study traces the the full sweep of A.Y. Jackson's long life
from the early years of struggling to be recognized, when Lawren Harris
rented him a studio in downtown Toronto, and Tom Thomson, lived and
painted
in a woodshed in the back yard, to national acclaim and his final years."
About The Author:

economist, his lifelong avocation has been art appreciation. Dr. Firestone
has collected over 1200 im****tant Canadian paintings, more than half of
which are by The Group Of Seven; this collection was donated to the
Ontario
Heritage Foundation in 1972."
