MacDonald, J. E. H. (1873-1932), was a member of the Group of Seven, a famous Canadian school of landscape painters. MacDonald is best known for his large, boldly designed and brightly colored paintings of the Algoma wilderness region of Ontario. Scandinavian landscape art of the early 1900's strongly influenced his work. Many of his decorative landscapes also reflect the influence of the Art Nouveau style of design (see Art Nouveau).
