BIBLIOGRAPHIE
A.Y. Jackson, A Painter’s Country: The Autobiography of A.Y. Jackson, 1958, page 90

A.Y. Jackson had a habit of referring to places by the surnames of people who lived there or owned property there. These surnames sometimes became the titles for his works, making a nice link between the subject itself and the relationships that Jackson formed with people as he explored Canada to paint. Dr. James MacCallum had originally owned the property on West Wind Island at Go Home Bay, often referred to as MacCallum’s Island. As Jackson tells us in his autobiography, “Some time after the doctor died, his island was purchased by Harry and Mary Jackman, old friends of mine; and so I continue to go back to the island. Charles Comfort and Will Ogilvie also go there to sketch. Some time ago an article written about this place by Robert Ayre appeared under the title ‘Artists’ Island’.” Jackman’s Island is - for Canadian art historians - sacred ground.
