Tom Thomson Reading List

These are some of the books that introduced me to Canadian painter and national icon Tom Thomson (1877-1917). They run the gamut from scholarly examinations of his life and art to murder mysteries to plays and poems. The depictions of Thomson run the gamut as well: innocent nature boy; reticent genius; drunken philanderer; and everything in between. As Sherrill Grace suggests in Inventing Tom Thomson, there are as many Tom Thomsons as there are artists who write about him. These are some of my favourites.
