J.E.H. MacDonald (Canadian, 1873–1932) Falls, Montreal River, 1920
James Edward Hervey (J.E.H.) MacDonald was born in 1873 in Durham, England, and emigrated at the age of fourteen to Ontario with his parents. He studied art in Hamilton at the School of Art and Design and at the Toronto Art Students League.
MacDonald was a painter, educator, poet and commercial artist. He worked with the Toronto firm Grip Limited, where he met other artists with whom he would later form the Group of Seven. He continued to work as a fine artist, graphic artist and head of the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD University) until he died in 1932.
MacDonald, a member of The Group of Seven, employed a bright palette to create this energetic landscape. The rushing water weaving among rugged rocks and evergreens directs our gaze to the autumn colors of the hillside beyond. His scene is so inviting, you just might sense the cool air and the sound of the river while piecing together this jigsaw puzzle.
Thoughtfully conceived and engagingly intricate, these 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles combine superb color reproduction, stunning and unusual images, and sturdy construction to delight generations of novice and veteran puzzle workers.
