“In 109 black-and-white woodblock engravings, artist George A. Walker explores the life and tragically premature death of Tom Thomson (1877–1917), one of Canada's greatest and most influential artists. Walker's wordless ‘narrative’ begins in Thomson's youth and takes us through to his years of productive work and his mysterious death by drowning in Ontario’s Algonquin Park. Walker also pays homage to Thomson’s influence on Canadian culture and explores his own relationship to Thomson, whom he counts as a major inspiration for his work, and coming to terms with his death. Canadian curator Tom Smart provides a quick but useful introduction, and there is a heartfelt afterword from Walker.”
