He was the son of Group of Seven member J.E.H. MacDonald. Thoreau was primarily self-taught, but worked in commercial art with his father. MacDonald (Thoreau) was colourbind; hence the bulk of his work is done in black-and-white. When his father moved to the Studio building south of the Rosedale neighborhood in Toronto, MacDonald went with him; there he was introduced to Tom Thomson, renown Seven member. His interactions with his father’s contemporaries excited the artistic instinct for MacDonald, who continued to study art under the tutelage of his father; in 1922, MacDonald submitted his first linocut to the Canadian Forum Magazine and by the following year, he was one of the staff editors. MacDonald worked extensively in commercial art and graphic art; he worked for the Ryerson Press, Dartmouth College, and others. He launched his own imprint, Woodchuck Press, in 1933, which lasted until 1946. MacDonald’s work is held within the collections of the National Gallery of Canada, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Hart House of the University of Toronto, and elsewhere. His fonds are held within the E.P. Taylor Research Library \u0026amp; Archives at the Art Gallery of Ontario. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"thoreau-macdonald-black-hawk","title":"Thoreau MacDonald - Black Hawk","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mccanseartshop.com\/collections\/thoreau-macdonald\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThoreau MacDonald\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1901-1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTitle: \u003cem\u003eBlack Hawk\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDate: 1969\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Ink and wash\u003cbr\u003eImage size in inches: 5 x 9.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotes: Initialed, dated, and titled lower left.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thoreau MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48695959159004,"sku":"MacDonaldT-1001","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/3565\/7948\/files\/MacDonaldT-1001.jpg?v=1775067461"}],"url":"https:\/\/mccanseartshop.com\/collections\/thoreau-macdonald.oembed","provider":"McCanse Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
