Literature
Dennis Reid, “A Concise History of Canadian Painting”, Toronto, 2012, page 188
A.J. Casson's dedication to the Ontario landscape made him one of Canada's greatest masters of the subject. He was meticulous about painting with natural tones in shades of greens, mauves, and ochres that instil an admiration for the quiet strength of the Canadian wilderness, and demonstrate a style that is uniquely his own in colour and mood.
