Franklin Carmichael (1890 – 1945) was a Canadian artist. He was the youngest original member of the Group of Seven, a group of painters I like very much. He studied at the Ontario College of Art in Toronto with William Cruickshank and George Reid. What I like about Carmichael's work and some of the other Group of Seven painters is the far music in their paintings, and their sense of composition and color harmony. The other thing that distinguishes Carmichael from other more abstract representational painters, that makes his work stand out and gives in poetry is the skill with which he accurately captures the itness of the landscape. He is a good painter to study in this respect. Very few abstract painters succeed in capturing this itness.
