J.E.H. MacDonald - Canada

Art Brokerage: J.E.H. Macdonald Canadian Artist: b. 1873-1932. A founding member of the Group of Seven, J.E.H. MacDonald challenged and vastly broadened the scope of Canadian Art. MacDonald believed that art should express the "mood and character and spirit of the country", and he portrayed his vision in vast panoramas using dark, rich colours and a turbulent patterned style. MacDonald was born in Durham, England and moved to Canada at the age of fourteen. He trained as an artist in Hamilton and Toronto, pursuing a career in commercial art. In 1895 MacDonald joined the Grip Engraving Company in Toronto where he met and encouraged other staff members, including Tom Thomson, Frank Carmichael, Arthur Lismer and Fred Varley, to paint with him on weekends - laying the groundwork for what would later become Canada's famous Group of (7) Seven.
