| | National Gallery of Canada - Research Resources: Franklin Carmichael |
 | | Franklin Carmichael (1890-1945), a founding member of the Group of Seven, was remembered by A.Y. Jackson (1882-1974), in his autobiography, as "a lyrical painter of great ability and a fine craftsman." Carmichael was born in Orillia, Ontario. |
 | | Carmichael continued his education in Europe from 1913 to 1914, attending the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, Belgium, where Arthur Lismer and Fred Varley (1881-1969) had studied. |
 | | Carmichael was an avid reader, and the Library is broad in subject scope, reflecting interests in art history, theory and technique, as well as theosophy, history, literature, music and gardening. |
