<strong>Tom</strong> <strong>Thomson</strong><br />
Life & Work by David P. Silcox<br />
In less than a decade as a painter, <strong>Tom</strong> <strong>Thomson</strong> produced around fifty canvases and<br />
four hundred or more small sketches on a variety of boards and panels, none much<br />
larger than 21.6 x 26.7 cm. Today they are regarded as some of Canada’s strongest and<br />
most popular images of the North, even if the sites <strong>Thomson</strong> painted constituted much<br />
less pristine wilderness than is usually acknowledged. Many other artists lived longer<br />
and created more works than he did, yet achieved much less.<br />
