A.Y. Jackson
(1882 – 1974) “A.Y.” as he was fondly known, was born in Montreal on October 3, 1882. Like other members of the Group of Seven, he was trained as a commercial artist and for many years made his living by that means. He apprenticed for a Montreal lithographer at the age of 12, and though he later spent two and a half years in France studying painting, he was soon back in Canada paying his rent by working for a commercial art firm.
In 1920, with Lawren Harris, Arthur Lismer, Franklin Carmichael, Frederick Varley, J.E.H. MacDonald and Frank Johnston, he formed the most famous exhibitors’ group in the history of Canadian painting: the Group of Seven. In the following years, he painted Northern Ontario, the Arctic, the Rocky Mountains, and the Prairies, as well as his beloved Quebec, where his countless sketching expeditions earned him the nickname Père Raquette because he could be seen wearing snowshoes.

(1882 – 1974) Communément connu sous ses initiales “A.Y.”, Jackson naquit à Montréal le 3 Octobre 1882. Tout comme les autres membres du Groupe des Sept, il reçut une formation d’artiste publicitaire et vécut de cet Art pendant de nombreuses années. Il fit son apprentissage auprès d’un lithographe de Montréal à l’âge de 12 ans, et après avoir passé deux années et demies en France à étudier la peinture, il retourna bientôt au Canada et paya ses loyers en travaillant pour une entreprise d’art publicitaire.
En 1920, avec Lawren Harris, Arthur Lismer, Franklin Carmichael, Frederick Varley, J.E.H. MacDonald et Franck Johnston, il forma le plus célèbre des groupes artistiques de l’histoire de la peinture canadienne : le Groupe des Sept. Les années qui suivirent, il peignit le Nord de l’Ontario, l’Arctique, les Rocheuses et les Prairies, ainsi que son cher Quebec, où ses innombrables promenades pour dessiner des croquis lui valurent le surnom de Père Raquette parce qu’on le voyait souvent porter des chaussures de neige.
