Group of Seven Icon Collection


We have the unique opportunity to promote this rare collection of Canadian icon paintings r
eproduced in a revolutionary format. Every brush stroke, every patch of unpainted surface,
every minute mark, both intended and unintended is duplicated with perfect fidelity.
In 30 years we have never seen a finer recreation of an original painting. A cast was
created with each painting pressed into a mould, making them virtually identical to the original work 
of art. The lithograph is printed on neutral pH Phoenix Imperial fine art paper, employing the
unique process. Every detail of brushwork and texture in the original oil is duplicated, producing a
genuinely recreated painting on the substrate, an African hardwood panel.

J.EH. MacDonald

Evergreen - J.E.H MacDonald - Group of Seven

J.E.H. MACDONALD
1873 - 1932

The English born painter James Edward Harvey MacDonald born May 12, 1873, and died Nov. 26,
1932 who migrated to Canada in 1887, was the chief spokesman for the Group of Seven,
landscape painters who brought the influence of modern European art to their depictions
of northern Canada
.

Using the dramatic colours and simplified forms of the symbolists, MacDonald captured
the splendours of Algonquin Park, as well as the Georgian Bay and Algoma regions.

MacDonald, who was also a poet, was a disciple of Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau,
whose works influenced both his writing and his painting. His works hang in every major
museum across Canada including the National Gallery of Canada.

As a founding member of the Group of Seven, J.E.H. MacDonald challenged and vastly
broadened the scope of Canadian art. MacDonald believed that art should express the
"mood and character and spirit of the country", and he portrayed his vision in
vast panoramas using dark, rich colours and a turbulent, patterned style.
