J.E.H. MacDonald (1873-1932) – Artist Biography
James Edward Hervey MacDonald (b: May 12, 1873, Durham, England; ds November 26, 1932, Toronto) was a member of the famous Group of Seven Canadian artists.
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 vigourous. His best on-the-spot sketches possess an intensity and freshness of execution not dissimilar from Van Gogh."
