Before Algoma, Lake Superior, and the Rocky Mountains were sources of inspiration for the artists who formed the Group of Seven, Georgian Bay was their principal landscape muse. Their home base in this area was often the cottage of ophthalmologist Dr. James MacCallum. MacCallum’s patronage allowed Tom Thomson to become a full-time artist, and his co-financing of the Studio Building in Toronto provided working space and even living space to many of the Group. He not only opened his cottage to these artists (as referenced on verso), he also commissioned J.E.H. MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, A.Y. Jackson and Thomson to produce murals for its interior in 1915 to 1916, which are now housed in the National Gallery of Canada. The striking geography and dramatic weather of Georgian Bay sparked masterworks large and small from these artists. As expressed here by MacDonald, forceful, gestural brush-strokes communicate the area’s ruggedness, and its immensity is articulated by the breaking light in the far distance, dwarfed by the imposing storm front dominating the composition. The immediacy this painting suggests is largely due to MacDonald’s impressive skills as an on-the-spot painter.
