   Front Jacket Excerpt:   
   "Behind the public figure familiar to all Canadians, the celebrated artist   
   and distinguished member of The Group Of Seven, was an affecionate,   
   intriguing, and highly opinionated man. "He was two persons," the author   
   writes, "one the friendly, outgoing man...the other, the creative artist   
   determined to achieve fulfillment whatever the cost, fiercely loyal to   
   Canada, and scornful of small-minded people unable to see beyond their   
   noses."   
   "This intimate study traces the the full sweep of A.Y. Jackson's long life   
   from the early years of struggling to be recognized, when Lawren Harris   
   rented him a studio in downtown Toronto, and Tom Thomson, lived and painted   
   in a woodshed in the back yard, to national acclaim and his final years."

   economist, his lifelong avocation has been art appreciation. Dr. Firestone

   which are by The Group Of Seven; this collection was donated to the Ontario   
   Heritage Foundation in 1972."
