A. J. CassonAlfred Joseph Casson was born in Toronto on May 17, 1898. He was a young commercial artist, assistant to Frank Carmichael, when the Group of Seven was finally formed. In 1926 the Group of Seven consisted of only six, because of the withdrawal of Frank Johnston. Casson continued to work as a commercial artist until the age of sixty, when he retired as Vice President and Art Director of Samson-Mathews in Toronto. Casson's subjects differ from those of the rest of the group, because he never shown much interest in the North Woods landscape of which the others did. His favorite subjects were rural scenes of Southern Ontario |

Lawren HarrisLawren Harris was born on October 23, 1885, in Brantford, Ontario. He took up painting at an early age and studied in Germany from 1904 to 1907. He worked briefly with Norman Duncan. Harris is also the only member of the Group who kept pushing his painting, never resting with one style or one subject matter. Harris continued to grow and change as a painter, moving to art deco and pure abstraction. His affection for Scandinavian landscape painting was one of the key factors in the formulation of the Group of Seven's approach to the Ontario woods, which Harris himself painted. Harris led the way to painting the Arctic, the Rocky Mountains, Gaspe and other parts of Canada. |

A. Y. JacksonA.Y. Jackson was born in Montreal on October 3, 1882. Like other members of the Group of Seven he was trained as a Commercial Artist and for many years made his living by that means. He apprenticed to a Montreal lithographer at the age of 12, and though he later spent two and a half years in France studying painting, he was soon back in Canada paying his rent by designing cigar labels. In 1920, with Lawren Harris, Arthur Lismer, Frank Carmichael, Fred Varley, James MacDonald and Frank Johnston, he formed the most famous exhibitors' group in the history of Canadian painting: the Group of Seven. In the following years he painted the Arctic, the West Coast, the Prairies, and the North Woods, as well as his beloved St. Lawrence. |
