Franklin
H. Carmichael was the youngest member of the Group of Seven.
He was an accomplished watercolour painter, and heavily influenced
by the other Group members' styles. Many of his paintings
were of small towns in Ontario and often his rendition of
clouds would be very striking.
Biography:
Carmichael,
the son of a carriage maker, was born in Orillia, Ontario
on May 4, 1890. He arrived in Toronto in 1911 with some training
in commercial art, and soon found himself the associate of
Tom Thomson and a number of other commercial artists who were
teaching themselves to be serious painters.
In
1913 he went to Paris to study painting but was soon back
in Ontario to participate in the founding of the Group of
Seven. In 1932 he was appointed Head of Graphic and Commercial
Art at the Ontario College of Art.
He
