The Group Of Seven



Durham, England
MacDonald: poet,
painter, he tried his hand
at creativity -
graphic designer,
left his homeland.

F. H. Varley,
spiritual man,
figurative art - he
painted landscapes also,
psychological,
fine quality.

A.Y. Jackson,
promoted and taught,
his brush a mansion
of wonderful soft strokes,
captured scenery,
under earth's sun.

L.S. Harris,
physical beauty,
formations' sweet-art bliss,
Canada's stark north world,
abstraction in thought,
dynamic kiss.

Arthur Lismer,
pioneered ideas,
social conscience a spur,
a pivotal role played
in art schools' progress,
do you concur?

Frank Johnston,
pursuing own course,
his own way's invention,
energy's charisma
pushing a hard will,
strong attention.

L. Fitzgerald,
surroundings gathered,
never was he nettled
by summers on prairies,
grandmother's farm,
his youth settled.
