Jack Vettriano and John Thompson Paintings
  • Painters and artists live not just their times,
    but also the future. Like many of the other well
    acclaimed artists and painters, it is also true
    in the case of Jack Vettriano and John Thompson.
  • Tom Thomson was in fact born in the beautiful
    city of Claremont, Ontario to John and Margaret
    Thomson. However, he spent his later years in
    Leith, lying in the vicinity of Owen Sound. It
    was in the year 1899 he first secured the job of
    machine shop traineeship at an iron foundry of
    William Kennedy, who was good and old friend of
    his father. But, soon Thompson was fired from his
    traineeship by a foreman who grumbled of his
    customary slowness.
  •  
  • Later in that year, he volunteered himself to
    fight in the Second Boer War, but his ambition
    could not take practical shape as he was
    considered to be medically unfit. He adamantly
    served in the First World War as a fire ranger in
    Algonquin Park. In 1904, Thompson returned to
    Canada, and joined studies with William
    Cruikshank. It was in the year 1907 Thomson
    worked with Grip Ltd., which was Toronto based
    artistic design firm, and eventually catapulted
    his tryst for expressionist art.

  • Thomas John "Tom" Thomson was a significant
    Canadian artist who made the mark with his superb
    paintings in the early 20th century. He greatly
    influenced and attracted an assembly of Canadian
    painters that would later after his life seemed
    to be popular as nothing but Group of Seven.
