Description:

Tom Thomson's "Algonquin" oil on panel limited edition recreation numbered of an edition of 460. This is a high quality texturized reproduction, in a high quality frame which was custom designed, and has been professionally assembled. Original list price was $2,000 USD.

Born in Claremont, Ontario, Tom grew up in Leith and moved to Seattle, Washington, where he worked at commercial art from 1901 to 1905. Back in Toronto from 1910 to 1914, he was a commercial designer at Grip Ltd. and Rous and Mann. In 1914, he painted full time under the patronage of Dr. J.M. MacCallum, mainly in Algonquin Park with the future members of the Group of Seven, A. Lismer, A.Y. Jackson and Fred Varley and was influenced strongly by J.E.H. MacDonald. His major canvases were executed in a shack behind the fames Studio Building in the Rosedale ravine, Toronto. Working part time as an Algonquin Park guide, he drowned in Canoe Lake in 1917. This work of art is an exclusive Master Editions lithograph, printed on neutral pH Phoenix Imperial fine art paper, employing the unique Phoenix Process. This process is a revolutionary method printing that is likely to transform the technique of art replication well into the 21st century. Through this process , every detail of brushwork and texture in the original oil can be duplicated, producing a genuinely recreated painting on a wood panel or canvas.

These recreations require as many as forty hand-mixed colours, which are laid down one at a time. This labour-intensive procedure is further enhanced through the use of special lightfast inks. Following the principle of applying light tonal values first, then gradually building up the darker tones, our craftsmen are able to capture, on a single-colour rotary press, the subtle chromatic nuances of the original, in much the same manner as did the artist himself.

Clearly, this is a time-consuming practice, which demands much of our artisans' skills. It is in fact, our hand-work of the very finest kind, which is dedicated to the preservation of the important icons of Canadian art, long treasured by the Canadian people. Group of Seven.
