A.J. Casson’s friendship with Franklin Carmichael,
an original member of the Group of Seven, proved to be the catalyst of his career.
Asked to become a member of the Group in 1926 to replace Frank Johnston who had resigned,
Casson went on to become known as a painter of Ontario, as was Carmichael.
He was able to document many of our rural settings and buildings, as well as his great
study of the Ontario landscape with all of the riches that are found in his interpretive
paintings of sharply defined colour, shape and contrast.
