Abstract
Pertains to the work of Arthur Lismer, an English Canadian painter and member of the Group of Seven. While Lismer’s paintings were immensely popular, author Ian Thom explores the impact of his lesser known works, Lismer’s cartoons. He examines the connection between Lismer’s quick sketches, and the ways in which they invite viewers into Lismer’s personal life. In this publication, Thom explores the humor, story and detail in Lismer’s fine drawings and cartoons.
