-Tom Thomson, one of the Group of Seven, is remembered to some extent due to the fact that he died in mysterious circumstances, almost as much as he is remembered for his incredible, joyous, colourful paintings of Ontario's north. Thomson had made many visits to Algonquin Park in Northern Ontario, and was an accomplished canoeist; however, he appears to have drowned in Algonquin Park when he went out to fish and never returned. His upturned and abandoned canoe was discovered late in the day of July 8, 1917, and his body was recovered eight days later. Perhaps his paintings seem even more intense because of his untimely and unexpected drowning. Some of his most famous paintings are of the area in which he likely drowned, an area typical of Algonquin Park, water, rock, pine, the elements one sees most often in his paintings. In point of fact, Thomson's early paintings , while technically adept, like most of the Group of Seven to which he belonged, only vaguely prefigure the vigorous abstract intensity of his later work. The haunting quality of the talent that was cut off in its full flower of potential fills his mature work.
