Specializing in Framed Art
And The Group of Seven
:: F. Carmichael Masterpiece
   Gallery 7" x 8.5"

Franklin Carmichael

Although he was one of the original members of the Group of Seven, he is perhaps more closely associated with the artists who joined in later years-Fitzgerald, Casson and Holgate.

Carmichael was always on the fringe of the Group, probably due to the difference in age and possibly because he worked full time as a commercial artist. Most members of the Group seemed to have the attitude that teaching art was an honourable vocation, but they attached a stigma to working in the commercial field. This seems rather ironic considering almost all members started out in this area.

Later in his career, Frank taught at the Ontario College of Art, where he had studied.
