Welcome to the Arts & Letters Club's presentation of its collection of drawings by Arthur Lismer.
Arthur Lismer was a member of the Group of Seven and a distinguished
art educator. He created these drawings between 1922 and 1946
while spending time with his friends at the Arts & Letters
Club.
The catalogue's 194 drawings are the property of the Club Archives.
The majority are to be found in the early volumes of the Club
Scrapbook series on deposit at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library,
University of Toronto.
Ninety-two characters are identifiable in the 194 drawings;
the majority are members of the Club and include five members
of the Group of Seven, with many other notables from the fields
of art, music, theatre, teaching, architecture and photography.
A brief biographical note accompanies each character's first
appearance.
