Lot description

Arthur Lismer, English, Canadian, 1885 to 1969, oil painting on canvas depicting a landscape with a tree, 1942. Signed and dated, lower left. Framed. Arthur Lismer was an English Canadian painter, member of the Group of Seven and educator. He is known primarily as a landscape painter and for his paintings of ships in dazzle camouflage. Lismer was a charter member of the Group of Seven, and joined his fellow artists on painting trips to the Algoma region and north shore of Lake Superior. In 1928 he painted in the Rockies and from 1930 in the Atlantic provinces. His Impressionist influenced paintings of the 1910s evolved into a more angular and cruder expression that he equated with the Canadian terrain and national identity. In his later work, Lismer concentrated on detailed foregrounds and tightly framed, close up compositions of vegetation and land formations. One of a kind artwork.
