Item Overview

Description

1919 Canadian National Exhibition Poster. Published: Toronto : Rolph, Clark, Stone, Ltd., 1919. Poster shows a woman, representing Canada, on a horse, holding the British flag; next to her stands a Canadian soldier and overhead is an airplane; in background, the exhibition grounds. Various other war-related items are depicted. This poster is a wonderful piece of Canadian history. the globe, countries at war created posters that would encourage young men to volunteer for battle. Some of these posters cultivated a sense of national pride; others attempted to demonize opponents. From 1914 to 1918, thousands of different posters were created, and only some of these survive today. Look back to the early 1900's and see what everyday citizens saw posted on street corners, on buildings, and sometimes, in their homes. James Edward Hervey MacDonald (May 12, 1873 – November 26, 1932) was a member of the famous Group of Seven Canadian artists. He is the father of Thoreau MacDonald. He was born in Durham, England. In 1887 at the age of 14, MacDonald moved with his family from England to Hamilton, Ontario. Two years later, in 1889 they moved again to Toronto where he studied commercial art and became active in the Toronto Art Student League. In November 1911, MacDonald exhibited sketches at the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto. This was an important step as the exhibit brought him to the attention of Lawren Harris, who encouraged MacDonald to keep painting and show his work whenever he could. MacDonald won acclaim in 1912 for his role in an exhibition at the Ottawa Society of Artists. In January 1913 he travelled to Buffalo, New York, where he found in an exhibit of Scandinavian Impressionist paintings an uninhibited approach to northern wilderness that could be adopted by Canadian painters. By that year, other Toronto-based commercial artists who were also interested in the potential of original Canadian expression were beginning to congregate around him and Harris. Later that spring MacDonald wrote to A. Y. Jackson, inviting him to come to Toronto, which he did in May. Today, MacDonald is viewed with general admiration for his art, with one writer commenting, "no Canadian landscape painter possessed a richer command of colour and pigment than J.E.H. MacDonald ... His brushwork is at once disciplined and vigorous. His best on-the-spot sketches possess an intensity and freshness of execution not dissimilar from Van Gogh." His former home and 4-acre (16,000 m2) garden in Vaughan, Ontario have been restored. Owned by the City of Vaughan, they are open to the public.
