A framed painting by Arthur Lismer entitled "Pine Island Georgian Bay_Arthur Lismer".

Arthur Lismer, (27 June 1885 to 23 March 1969) was an English Canadian painter and member of the Group of Seven. At age 13 he apprenticed at a photo engraving company. He was awarded a scholarship, and used this time to take evening classes at the Sheffield School of Arts from 1898 until 1905. In 1905, he moved to Antwerp, Belgium, where he studied art at the Academie Royale. Lismer immigrated to Canada in 1911, settled in Toronto, Ontario and took a job with Grip Ltd., a satirical magazine. The collaboration of four artists at Grip gradually evolved into the Group of Seven, whose work was intended to contribute to the process of giving Canada a distinctive national voice in painting. The group was known for its depictions of the North American wilderness.
