The Life of Alfred Joseph Casson: A Champion of the Canadian Landscape
Alfred Joseph Casson, born on May 17, 1898, in Toronto, Canada, was a celebrated painter and a key member of the famous Group of Seven. Known for his vivid depictions of the Canadian wilderness, Casson played a significant role in shaping Canada's national artistic identity. Growing up in a modest family, Casson’s early exposure to the arts came through his father’s work as a lithographer. His formal training at the Hamilton Technical School and Central Ontario School of Art laid the foundation for a career that would flourish in portraying the beauty of rural Canada.
A Passion for the Canadian Landscape
Casson’s work is characterized by his love for Ontario’s rolling landscapes, small villages, and natural beauty. Unlike other members of the Group of Seven who often depicted rugged and remote wilderness, Casson focused on the pastoral charm of southern Ontario. His paintings such as Street in Glen Williams and Red Maple are prime examples of his talent in capturing the essence of small-town life and the changing seasons. Through his art, Casson communicated a deep connection to his homeland, often highlighting the harmony between nature and human life.

Alfred Joseph Casson’s technique is marked by crisp lines, strong geometric forms, and a distinctive use of color. His style emphasizes clarity and order, often using controlled, well-defined brushstrokes that give his landscapes a serene, almost structured quality. Working primarily in oil and watercolor, Casson mastered the delicate balance between naturalistic detail and stylized interpretation, which allows his paintings to evoke both realism and a timeless aesthetic. His influence from the Group of Seven’s focus on Canadian identity shines through in each carefully constructed scene.
