Literature
A.Y. Jackson, Banting as an Artist, The Ryerson Press, Toronto, 1943, page 33, listed as “No Title”.
Sir Frederick Grant Banting was an active member of the Arts and Letters Club, where he met A.Y. Jackson. The two quickly became friends and sketching companions throughout the Arctic, Ontario and rural Quebec. By the 1930s, Banting became one of Canada’s best known emerging artists with a keen sense of colour, light and shadow, heavily influenced by his time with Jackson. Banting refined his practice, often looking to Jackson for guidance to better develop what was first a pastime, into a career.
