About the artist

Thoreau MacDonald

Canadian artist Thoreau MacDonald was the only son of Group of Seven member J.E.H. MacDonald and was born near Toronto, where he was to spend most of his life. As might be expected, he was fully immersed in the painting life of his father and that of the other Group of Seven members. He accompanied his father on sketching trips and spent time with Tom Thomson at the Studio Building in Toronto.
A self-taught artist, Thoreau MacDonald began studying under his father in 1921, and by 1922 had successfully submitted his first linoleum cuts to the Canadian Forum, later becoming an illustrator and then the magazine’s art editor. In addition, Thoreau MacDonald contributed illustrations to some 150 journals, novels and books of poetry, and he was a founding member of the Canadian Group of Painters in 1933. George Burgoyne noted of his illustrative work that “MacDonald has shown a sympathetic understanding of his subject in illustrating the narrative, and skill in the small drawings that end chapters and also appear as incidental embellishments.”
