Tom Thomson was an outstanding Canadian landscape painter who drew the famous lakes, forest waterfalls, national parks and nature preserves of his country. Thomson’s most famous works were done in the Algonquin Park, for example the study entitled An Old Abandoned Dam in Algonquin Park (spring of 1912, National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa). Landscapes illuminated by different light and the changing seasons of the year are dominant themes in Thomson’s work. A number of studies are included in the exhibition: Spring. The French River, Hill in Autumn, and White Hoarfrost All Nocture: Birch Trees three are from Ottawa.
The exhibition presents 58 of Tom Thomson’s best works from the collections of The Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto (15) and the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa (43).
