汤姆-汤姆森，板面油画，1915年，安大略美术馆藏，21.6x26.8cm

Throughout his career, Canadian landscape painter and Group of Seven contemporary Tom Thomson produced more than 400 small oil paintings. They are found on wood panels, canvas board, plywood, and cigar-box lids in the plein-air style. These were spontaneous, quickly executed sketches that became, for him, like drawings—the most immediate and intimate expression of an idea, a thought, an emotion, or a sensation. Based on his observations of a host of phenomena—sunsets, thunderstorms, and the northern lights—the works form a unique visual diary. His paintings use broad brush strokes and a liberal application of paint to capture the beauty and color of the Ontario landscape. Thomson’s accidental death at 39 by drowning came shortly before the founding of the Group of Seven and is seen as a tragedy for Canadian art.

加拿大风景画家、七人画派(Group of Seven)当代画家汤姆-汤姆森(Tom Thomson)在其职业生涯中创作了400多幅小型油画。这些户外写生风格的作品出现在木板、帆布板、胶合板和雪茄盒盖上。这样随性、快速创作的草图，对汤姆来说就像素描一样——是对一个想法、一种情感或一种感觉的最直接和个人的表达。通过对日落、雷暴和北极光等一系列现象的观察，他的作品形成了一份独特的视觉记录。他的绘画使用较粗的笔触和自由挥洒的颜料来捕捉安大略风景的美丽和色彩。汤姆森在39岁时意外溺水身亡，这发生在七人画派成立不久前，被视为加拿大艺术的悲剧。
