His story has been taken up by everyone from Northrop Frye to The Tragically Hip. His name is woven into Canada&#8217;s national mythology and, along with the likes of Gretzky, Fox, Riel, and McClung, is not merely recognized, but also revered. If we tear away the accrued myth\u2014the under-documented details of his life, the tragic brevity of his career, and the mystery surrounding his wilderness death\u2014Thomson was, in his time, just a painter struggling for his art and to make ends meet. How should we now think about Thomson as an artist? What motivated his game-changing paintings of the Canadian wilderness in the first place? And how have subsequent artists like the Group of Seven, Joyce Weiland, and Peter Doig been inspired by his life and work?<\/p>\n<p>The evening event runs from 7:00 \u2013 8:30 p.m. at the Active Living Centre, 20 Park Drive in Huntsville. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/onlineca.activecommunities.com\/huntsville\/Start\/Start.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pre-register online at Huntsville.ca<\/a><\/span> with code #17568 or pay at the door.
