Given to Fran & Will December 2006. It was 1 of 5 bought at that date. H. Barnett" verso 10.5 x 13.5 in — 26.7 x 34.3 cm Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist by the father of the current owner, 1970 By descent to the Collection of Dr. William and Fran Barnett, London, ON Note: A.Y. Jackson first visited Go Home Bay, on the eastern shore of Georgian Bay, in 1913. After moving into a crude shack on Portage Island, Jackson was visited by Toronto ophthalmologist Dr. James MacCallum. MacCallum, on the urging of Lawren Harris, invited Jackson to instead stay at his palatial cottage on Go Home Bay. MacCallum was a lover of Canadian art – as well as a dedicated patron to struggling artists. In addition to his invitation to stay with him, he extended Jackson the offer of a year’s financial support on the condition that he take a studio in the Studio Building in Toronto rather than leave for New York at the end of the summer season. MacCallum had been in close contact with Harris through their mutual association with the Arts and Letters Club in Toronto, and had agreed to help financially back the construction of the Studio Building. Harris and Jackson had also connected for the first time a few months before MacCallum’s generous offer, with Harris having travelled to Berlin (present-day Kitchener), Ontario to meet with Jackson. Harris spoke of the need for a truly Canadian art movement, and wanted Jackson to join. Jackson, who instantly took a liking to Harris, was not immediately convinced, concerned as he was with the difficulties of supporting himself as a landscape painter of Canadian scenes in a city as expensive and indifferent to Canadian art as Toronto of the period. It was MacCallum’s offer of financial support in the fall of 1913 that tipped the balance and convinced Jackson to make his way to Toronto, a momentous move towards his role in the Group of Seven. Jackson would return to Go Home Bay at least seven more times to sketch and paint. In his memoir, he wrote that “Go Home Bay and the outer islands are filled for me with happy memories of good friends and of efforts, more or less successful, that I made to portray its ever-varying moods.”[1] He elaborated further, writing that “there were many places to go within an hour – much infinite variety, lagoons with water lilies and pickerel weeds, smooth rocks worn into fantastic shapes by glacial actions, pine trees clinging to the rocks and bent into strange forms by the prevailing west winds. Every wind brought its change of colour, – the North wind with everything sharply defined and the distant islands lifted above the horizon by mirage; the South wind, – the blue giving way to greys and browns and the water rushing over the shoals; and the West wind best of all, – sparkling and full of movement.”[2] MacCallum’s cottage on Go Home Bay would provide a basecamp not only for Jackson but for other members of the Group to make paintings which would become some of the most familiar in Canadian art, including F.H. Varley’s Stormy Weather, Georgian Bay (National Gallery of Canada, Accession number 1814) and Arthur Lismer’s A September Gale, Georgian Bay (National Gallery of Canada, Accession number 3360).

Jackson: The Life of a Landscape Painter, Dundurn Press, Toronto 2009, pages 123-125 for a discussion of the 1924 trip with Lawren Harris.In 1924, A.Y. Jackson (1882 - 1974) took one of three important sketching trips with his friend and colleague Lawren Harris - to Algoma in the spring, Jasper in the summer and Lake Superior in the fall. From this 1924 summer trip, Harris produced many of his best loved sketches and paintings of mountain subjects but far less was produced, or little remains of works, by A.Y. Jackson. In fact, the artist's niece and chronicler, Naomi Jackson Groves references the rarity of work from A.Y.’s visit to the Rockies which she insists "enhances the importance of the extant examples." Of the few larger canvases that were produced by Jackson, we understand that at least one was thrown into the furnace of the Studio Building as Jackson attempted to high-grade his output.On that 1924 summer trip, the artists visited two spots, Maligne Lake and the Valley of the Tonquin where lies "the mighty Ramparts", with their glaciers and treeless valley, so beautifully rendered in this lot. Ostensibly, the purposes of the trip was to produce material that could then be shown to executives at the CNR for use in marketing western Canada to tourists. Groves writes that works from this trip "formed part of a grandiose Harris-Jackson plan to collaborate on a set of large, strong, non-photographic panoramic murals for the Canadian National Railway, a project which the latter favored highly but never commissioned. A minor outcome of the studies was a travel brochure to which Jackson contributed six colour drawings.”This work, which was once owned by printer, Charles Matthews of Sampson Matthews, may have been one of the works produced for that brochure.Estimate: $20,000–30,000

OTTAWA, 1945oil on panelsigned; also signed, titled and dated on the reverse 10.5 ins x 13.5 ins; 26.7 cms x 34.3 cms Provenance:Private Collection, Maple, ONLiterature:Dennis Reid, Alberta Rhythm: The Later Work of A.Y. Jackson, Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, 1982.In this painting, A.Y. Jackson (1882-1973) returned to a motif which he had favoured before the First World War: a landscape receding behind a screen of trees. Around 1914, working with Tom Thomson in Algonquin Park, his paintings were closed in, due to the nature of the landscape. In the late 1930s and through the 1940s, Jackson was travelling a great deal. In addition to his annual painting trips to familiar spots (Quebec, Georgian Bay), he travelled to Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and British Columbia where he encountered a variety of different landscapes—broad expanses of land in the prairies with majestic mountains in the distance, for example. In the autumn of 1945, he had been to Kamloops, the Cariboo Region of British Columbia, and southern Alberta. Returning to more familiar territory, Jackson must have been struck by the contrast between what he had experienced in the west with the more cultivated landscape of eastern Ontario. He chose a view that captured that experience. Estimate: $12,000–15,000
