Follow Tom Thomson, one of Canada's greatest painters, across the grandeur of Ontario's landscapes.

Tom Thomson's sweeping landscapes of Ontario’s wilderness heralded Canadian art's entry into the modern era. His career as a painter was as brief as it was fundamental, inspiring the next generation of great Canadian painters, the iconic Group of Seven. Reexaming the circumstances of the painter’s sudden demise just as he was beginning to achieve recognition, Sandrine Revel retraces his journey, sketching a subtle portrait of the artist while questioning the nostalgia that attaches to artists. A book about memory and the past: troubling, beautiful, and melancholy, like time's passing.
