(ewc). "We intended this book to serve a double purpose: to mark the one hundredth anniversary of Tom Thomson's birth, and to celebrate the artist's talent. Athought Thomson is one of Canada's creative heroes, he is known by too few paintings and too many dark specul ations. There is a great deal written about how he died; our purpose is to show what he lived for" Preface, David P. Silcox.
