About the piece
Created in 1919 by Frank Johnston, a founding member of the Group of Seven, this oil painting offers a rare and elegant aerial view of Camp Borden. The composition masterfully balances the pioneering spirit of early aviation with a vast, hazy landscape of muted ochres and soft blues, all beneath a towering, cloud-swept sky.
