Tom Thomson at the National Gallery of Canada

Tom Thomson died under mysterious circumstances before his potential as an artist could be realized, but his influence on Canadian art is undeniable. His paintings The Jack Pine and The West Wind are among the most iconic works in the country’s history. These two pieces of art — along with the sketches that inspired them — are a testament to his relationship with nature and his undying passion for Ontario’s north. On display at the National Gallery of Canada until March 1, 2015. —Amy Allen
