Jack Shadbolt was born in Shoeburyness, England in 1909. His home in Canada is Vancouver; Shadbolt also resided in New York and Southern France for prolonged periods of time. After his stay at the Mediterranean, Shadbolt's palette lightened and his medium changed to oil. His work became abstract, mosaic-like, creating architectonic vision by splitting color. Shadbolt is considered one of Canada's most important abstract artists. (The Crisis of Abstraction in Canada. Denise Lecler. P.178-9). Jack Shadbolt taught at the Vancouver School of Art and, before his retirement in 1966, was a catalyst for West Coast art as a teacher, lecturer and writer. 'Rocks' is one of the artist's earlier pieces - representational in subject matter and executed in watercolor, his first medium. (1996 inventory)
James (Jock) W. G. MacDonald was born in Thurso, Scotland in 1867. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art, and later worked as a fabric designer. He taught at Lincoln School of Art; Vancouver School of Art; School of Decorative and Applied Arts, Vancouver; Provincial Institute of Technology and Art, Calgary; and at Ontario College of Art after 1947. MacDonald was a member of Canadian Group of Painters and Painters Eleven. He died in Toronto in 1960. The artist was conducting independent experiments in Vancouver while the others worked in Winnipeg and Toronto. He had painted 'automatics' by 1934 and completely abstract or non-objective works by 1935 or 1936. (Painting in Canada: A History. Harper J. Russel. U of Toronto Press, 1977. P 327) Jock MacDonald was one of Canada's first painters to explore the relationship between abstraction and landscape. What MacDonald did is take the formal qualities of his subjects and isolate or abstract them form the landscape. (The History of Painting in Canada. Barry Lord. Toronto: NC Press, 1974. P 205-7)

Arthur Lismer (1885-1969) was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England, in a family of six children. He studied art extensively in Europe before coming to Canada. In Toronto, he first worked in the Grip Engraving Company with J.E.H. MacDonald and Tom Thomson. He exhibited with the Group of Seven since their first show at the Ontario Art Gallery in 1920. Besides his career as an artist, Lismer held important offices as an art educator (Director of the Victoria School of At and Design, Vice-Principal of the Ontario College of Art). He promoted visual art education for children, soldiers, sailors, handicapped people; he was one of the cofounders of the Art Centre for Children. The artist participated in Art Education conferences all around the world. (A Dictionary of Canadian Artists; Colin S. MacDonald. Canadian paperbacks LTS, 1991. P.860-66) The Group of Seven: "The goals of the artists who would form the Group of Seven in 1920 were idealistic and nationalistic in intent... They set out to throw off the colonial attitude which denigrated all Canadian creative ventures and slavishly imitated worshipped all things British or European...The rough wildness of the landscape, its raw, dramatic austerity, coupled with breathtaking color and light, spoke far more directly of Canada for these artists than anything to be found in the cities or settled areas. For them the north, a constant motif in earlier discussions of Canadian identity, found its first expression in the rocks, burnt land, trees, color, and light of Algonquin park... Like other major art innovators, the Group were united in their intent and cooperative action, and together they were remarkably effective in promulgating their vision across Canada and internationally." (Charles C. Hill: The Group of Seven, Art for a Nation. The Canadian Publishers, 1995. P.15-33)
