WEST WIND Tom Thomson KCOURTESY ART GALLERY OF TORONTOl Canadian Art True Canadian art was first begun by Tom Thomson. In his brief and dramatic car- eer he first painted the north country in its true colours. ln March he would leave for the north and not return until November: most of his sketching was done in Algon- quin Park. He never attended a school of art, but his pictures have brilliant colour, powerful rhythm and are full of the mood of the north country. ln 1917 he was assured a brilliant career, but it was never realized. One summer morning his canoe was found upturned in Canoe Lake, Algonquin Park. Several days later his body was found, and death was attributed to accidental drowning: but several things remain unexplained: a deep gash across the head, the lungs still filled with air, and the fact that Thomson was THE ORACLE a superb canoeist. Canada had lost her fin- est landscape artist, who died just when he had reached his prime. Thomson was only forty, but he left a lasting imprint on Can- adian art. The famed Group of Seven was organized in his memory. These lines by a fellow artist, I. E. H. MacDonald, inscribed upon a small mem- orial on the shores of Canoe Lake, eloquently sum up Thomson's life: To the memory of Tom Thompson, artist-woodsman and guide who was drowned in Canoe Lake, luly 8th, who lived humbly and passionately the wild. It made him brother to all l9l7, with untamed things in nature. It drew him apart and revealed itself wonderfully to him. lt sent him out from the woods only to show these revelations through his arty and it took him to itself at last. Twenty-Three
