Jackson at his studio in Manotick, Ontario. Jackson discusses: his relationship to the Group of Seven; his early work as a commercial artist; his travels in Europe, where his paintings were first exhibited; enlisting in World War I; the drowning of Group of Seven member Tom Thomson; the geological settings and landscapes in the Canadian north that attracted him and his colleagues; and the criticism the Group of Seven received from the Canadian government for sending their paintings to the Wembly Exhibition in London, England, because the government feared that their visual depictions of Canada would discourage immigration. Jackson also comments on some of the paintings and sketches in his studio. <30mn>Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
