Where this comes from

Abstract

In the early part of this century, Toronto eye specialist Dr. James M. MacCallum's keen delight in painting and in helping artists expanded the borders of Canadian art. As friend, patron and confidant to the members of the Group of Seven, he encouraged some of the most recognizable and evocative art ever painted in this country.
