About this work

“Joe Creek” (1945-1948) offers a scene of the untouched Canadian wilderness, completely devoid of the presence of man, as perceived by the woodsman, naturalist and artist, Tom Thomson. A.J. Casson, who supervised nearly all of the works in the Sampson-Matthews silkscreen art program, worked directly on this silkscreen to capture the colours and atmosphere of the original painting as accurately as possible.
