BIBLIOGRAPHIE
John A.B. McLeish, September Gale: A Study of Arthur Lismer of the Group of Seven, 1955, page 92

Our atmosphere was clear and sharp, our colours were bright (crude if you will). The villages were scattered and the landscape untidy, ragged as you went north, swamp, rock, wolf-ridden…In summer it was green, raw greens all in a tangle; in autumn it flamed with red and gold; in winter it was wrapped in a blanket of dazzling snow, and in the springtime it roared with new life and yet our artists were advised to go to Europe and paint smelly canals! If a cow could stay in the drawing-room, then why couldn’t a bull moose?

- A.Y. Jackson, from a debate between traditionalist E. Wyly Grier and Jackson, Empire Club, February 26, 1925

This fine Group of Seven period oil sketch embodies A.Y. Jackson’s passionately expressed principles. Gold and the flaming red of wild cherry trees light up his autumn landscape, which radiates a solemn stillness. Bold rock formations, mysterious dark hills, and water reflecting sky and trees are handled in a fine balance in this wild and impressive scene, in exactly the fresh and innovative portrayal of the Canadian landscape that Jackson advocated.
