Alexander Young Jackson (Montreal 1882 – Kleinburg 1974) fu un altro pittore del Gruppo dei Sette ( Group of Seven ).
In his youth he worked in lithography and attended evening classes in painting. He later studied at the Julien Academy in Paris and the Art Institute of Chicago.
His painting "The edge of the maple wood " attracted the attention of JEH McDonald, another painter of the Group of Seven who did buy the other painter Lawren Harris, who invited him to Toronto to get to know other members the group that was forming. That it averted from emigrating to the USA where he hoped to find the success that Montreal had been denied.
After taking part in the First World War had a stint as artist for the Canadian military cemeteries.
Dal 1919 in poi si dedicò a dipingere il paesaggio canadese secondo un suo stile individuale ispirato all’impressionismo che aveva assorbito durante il suo soggiorno parigino e raffinato in frequenti viaggi in tutto il nord del Canada.
Il dipinto “ Barns ” ( fienili) del 1926 esemplifica il suo stile dalle linee curve e dal colore temperato che dà vita a un’immagine forte e duratura..
Di temperamento solitario, descrisse nella sua autobiografia “ A Painter’s Country ” (1958) la sua visione pittorica nazionalista.
A.Y. Jackson è sepolto nel cimitero della Galleria McMichael a Kleinburg vicino ai suoi amici.
