Attributed to Tom Thomson, Canadian, 1877 to 1917, an oil painting on masonite board depicting a coastal landscape. Signed lower right. Additionally inscribed, West Winds Algonquin Park c. 1916 to 1917 authenticated by Jen McDonald, on the backside. Tom Thomson was an influential Canadian artist of the early 20th century. He worked in a painterly style that combined impressionism and abstract expressionism. He earned his living as a designer and illustrator, but his reputation continues for his boldly executed paintings, often forest scenes. About 1908, he began working for the Toronto graphics firms of Grip Ltd., and there he met James Hervey MacDonald who encouraged him to paint and to cultivate subject matter that was uniquely Canadian. In the summer of 1912, Thomson spent much time in Algonquin Park and the Mississauga Forest Reserve, and from that time he went each year to make sketches from which he painted the remainder of the year in his studio in Toronto. Although he was not an official part, he was closely aligned with the Group of Seven, artists led by Lawren Harris and James MacDonald, to promote Canadian art. One of a kind artwork.
