Alexander Young Jackson, (October 3, 1882 to April 5, 1974) was a Canadian painter and a founding member of the Group of Seven. Jackson made a significant contribution to the development of art in Canada, and was successful in bringing together the artists of Montreal and Toronto. He exhibited with the Group of Seven from 1920. In addition to his work with the Group of Seven, his long career included serving as a war artist during World War I (1917 to 19) and teaching at the Banff School of Fine Arts, from 1943 to 1949. In his later years he was artist in residence at the McMichael Gallery in Kleinberg, Ontario. In 1933, Jackson helped found the Canadian Group of Painters. Several members of the Group of Seven later became members of this group, including Lawren Harris, A. J. Casson, Arthur Lismer and Franklin Carmichael.
