Alexander Young Jackson was best known as one of the members of the
Group of Seven, the famous group of Canadian modernist painters.
Born in Montreal, he started working at age twelve after his father
abandoned the family of six children. The young Jackson went to work as
an office boy for a Montreal printing company, where he received his
earliest training.
In 1906, he attended art classes at the Art
Institute of Chicago. One year later Jackson traveled to Europe on a
cattl (showing 500 of 2671 characters). |
