Arthur Lismer

Arthur Lismer (June 27, 1885 – March 23, 1969) was born in England in 1885. He emigrated from Sheffield, England to Canada in 1911. He settled in Toronto, Ontario and took a job with Grip - a commercial design company. The collaboration of four artists employed at Grip gradually evolved into as the "Group of Seven", easily the most famous art movement in Canadian history. Another artist also associated with the group is Tom Thompson (though technically he died before the group formed), who also worked with the cadre at Grip.
