Product Description

Tom Thomson 2010 celebrates the work of one of Canada's best-loved artists with art-quality reproductions. Born in 1877, Tom Thomson grew up in Ontario near the shores of Georgian Bay. In 1912, he made the first of many trips to Algonquin Park, the setting of his great paintings and the place where he died in a tragic canoe accident five years later. Thomson's magnificent legacy is revealed through the changing moods and seasonal colors of his paintings. The intensity and passion with which he painted perfectly capture Canada's northern wilderness. These compelling landscapes provide a visual feast and demonstrate how one remarkable artist helped to define the way Canadians see their land.

Tom Thomson 2010 rend hommage à l'un des artistes canadiens les plus populaires. Né en 1877, en Ontario, Tom Thomson a passé son enfance dans la région de la baie Georgienne. C'est en 1912 qu'il s'est rendu pour la première fois au parc Algonquin, où il est retourné beaucoup de fois par la suite pour en peindre les merveilleux paysages et où il est mort, cinq ans plus tard, dans un accident tragique de canotage. Il a peint la nature avec passion, et ses superbes tableaux nous la montrent dans toutes ses métamorphoses saisonnières de lumière et de couleurs. Les reproductions que rassemble ce calendrier sont un véritable enchantement pour les yeux et un témoignage de la contribution de cet artiste extraordinaire à la vision que nous avons de notre pays.
