James Edward Herveyor J.E.H.MacDonald (1873-1932) painted the lush and lovely The Tangled Garden in 1916. The thick-stroked painting was not initially well-received by critics of the time, but it would become one of MacDonald's and the Group of Seven's best-known works.
Whose departure in 1920 turned the Group of Seven into a Group of Six, until A.J. Casson joined in 1926?
Frank or Franz Johnston (1888-1949) left the Group and Toronto in 1920 to accept a position at the Winnipeg School of Art. Another war-involved artist, Johnston focused on the Canadian pilots of World War I and their training regime, capturing breathtaking aerial scenes he saw firsthand while flying with the corps.
Which good friend and artistic ally of the Group of Seven played both the violin and mandolin?
Although the musically-inclined painter Tom Thomson (1877-1917) was not an official member, his friendship with the others and love of nature were integral to the Group of Sevens formation. Thomson is sadly famous for his unfortunate death at Algonquin Park in July of 1917, an incident that could have either been accidental or a homicide. Had http://www.veoh.com/users/painter78476
