Arthur Lismer - Canadian Artists

Arthur Lismer, C.C. (June 27, 1885 – March 23, 1969) was a Canadian painter and also a member of the Group of Seven.
He was born in Sheffield, England; he emigrated from England to Canada during 1911. He settled in the Toronto, Ontario and took a job with new Grip - a commercial design company. The collaboration of four artists working at the Grip gradually evolved into as the “Group of Seven”, easily the most well-known art movement in the Canadian painting history. Another artist was also associated with the group is Tom Thomson (though technically he died before this group formed), who also worked with the cadre at Grip.
Arthur Lismer’s style was mainly influenced by his pre-Canadian experience (primarily in Antwerp) where he found the Barbizon and post-impressionist movements a cheif inspiration.
Collaborating with the group of artists who would, during 1919, and became the Group of Seven, Lismer exhibits the characteristic organic style, and own spiritual connection with the landscape that could embody that group’s work.
In 1967 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada.
