Thursday and Friday,
November 15 and 16, the
residents of the Huron County
will have one of its two few
opportunities to view the works
of painter Jack McLaren O.S.A.
when the ladies auxiliary of
Alexandra Marine and General
Hopsital in Goderickl, sponsor a
showing of some 60 of his paint-
ings at North Street United
Church.
Those 60 pieces of work will
represent only a sampling of Mr.
McLaren's paintings.
Born at Edinburgh,
Scotland in 1895 he began paint- ium cuts."

think now I may have
been on to something original,"
he observes; "and I should have '
done it."
The 'Great Ones' series
eventually found its way to
Canadian Embassies around the
world and to the Canadian dele-
gation offices at the United
Nations. In New York the
great photographer Joseph Karsh
saw the work and was taken by
it.
As a result, at the invitation
of. Mr. Karsh, Mr. McLaren
travelled to Ottawa to be
photographed at Karsh's studio
there and sketch the
photographer.
"I spent two days with him
at the time," he recalls. "I
think he saw a great artistic
similarity in my very black and
white cuts and his style of photo-
graphy."
Following the visit to Ottawa
the Maclean Magazine company
published 'a story written by
Jack 1VIcLaren about having your
portrait done by the great
Karsh.
"I went into the studio and
sat down but there was no one
in the room. . After I waited
a few moments Karshbmade his
entrance down a long flight of
sweeping stairs which led from a
balcony above the studio to the
main floor. What an entrance!"
"I have always been
painting, " he recalls. "Even
when I was at the front with the
Princess Pats I had paints in my
haversack." .
Painting was always my
favorite but maybe I took a wrong
turn, ierhaps I should have stayed
with the linoleum cuts," he sug-
gests. "My work was published
in Esquire and several large
British and German graphics
magazines and I was on my way."
At this time however Jack
McLaren was a close associate
of the Group ofSeven and perhaps
that association had much to do
with keeping his mind on that
first love ...painting.
For seven years .he_ lunched
regularly, as a mem! '?r of the
Toronto Arts and Letter: Club, •
with the seven famous Canadian
painters and from such close
contact is in a position to make
some interesting observations of
Canada's most renowned
painters.
"There were really only three
posters. individuals in the group," 'he

calls had jobs but he was the complete.

propped up against the gun- "There were times," Jack
tecalle "when you could fitly a
Jackson painting, for $15. It
was like that until the dealer$
got hold of them and now the
2 1/2",,x 11 " paintings onbo
which went for $15, are selli f
$6,000 or more.;'
What is the difference be-
tween the painting then and now?
"The difference is in
promotion by the lealers,"‘Mi.
McLaren admits, gdthey"td the
same paintings."
Mr. McLaren places much-of
the credit for the Group of
Seven's genius with Tom Thomp-
Son.
"The group of seven, through
Thompson's relationship with
A.Y.Jackson, were sparked by '
Thompsonib ' work 'and Ithith.--
,He never got the recognition
however because he died before
the Group reached prominence."
,"„I think Thompson was a
genius," Mr. McLaren obier-
ves. "He was the real start of
an idea and he- influenced Jack-
son who lived on to influence the
others."
By 1930 Jack McLaren began
to have misgivings about • the
Toronto Art community.
"I got'-disgusted with• the
politics of art," he explains,
"it was no longer what you
knew, or how good you were,
,but who you knew and who you .
were associated with."
"If a new artist came, along
it didn't matter how good e was
but ,who he was. We were living
in a small village really and I
guess it was a reaction . of
jealousy and self preservation
by those who were beginning to
succeed."
"Bert Brooker and I were the
first to introduce modern feel=
ing in painting at Toronto," Jack
recalls. "I did a seven foot ,
painting of the sounds I heard on
the radio, static and feedback
and that sort of thing."
"It was accepted by the
Ontario Society of Art but ,many
of the academic painters were ,
sore about this hanging in their
show.",
Because of these pressures
on art Jack McLaren almost
quit painting outright for more
than 20 years.
"it was a"comlbination of the
politics in art and the 'fact that
I was busy with my own busin-
ess," he explains.
Another of jack MCLaren's
impressionistic paintingi grew
from his relationthip with Dr.
Frederick Banting.
' ‘•Dr. Banting took hie to see
an operation," he recalls. "I
think it was something really'
quite simple but I put on the
white gown and surgical mask
and went into the operating
theatre to watch at "close range.
I then did a painting 'halved on
my feelings-at witnessing the
surgery."
"There was no particular
reason to start painting again, \
in the early 1950's, but I did.
Perhaps I did so, in part, be
cause the time was coming for
me to retire," he explains.
Shortly afterwardb he did
retire and 10 years ago moved
to Be n miller where he has
lived and Continued t o paint, at
the rate of one painting every
two days, since.
From this huge collection of
work will come the 60 paintings •
which go before the public On •
November 1:5 and 18. The
showing will also include ' live
flower Studies, representative of
those ,rioral painting* which
have gained Ml. Metarbri in-
'ternational renown.

- During his years in the ad-
vertising trade Jack McLaren's
career took an interesting turn
and one which he now sees as
being a break into a truly in-
dividual medium.
"I was always interested in
caricatures," he explains, "and
published a series on our
Canadian fathers of confed-
eration entitled 'Our Greatones'
which was printed from linol-
_4100 completed works.
Mr.' McLaren came to
Canada in 1905 and took up
residence in West Toronto where
fie later graudated from Humber-
side Collegiate.
-In 1912 he returned to his
native Scotland and studied at
the Edinburgh College of Art
coming back to Canadain 1914
in time -to volunteer for thee
Princess Pats regiment with the
Canadian Army and sail back to
Europe and World War One.
When that regiment went
into action in sFrance Jack Mc-
Laren found himself attached to
the snipers to draw maps and on
completion of his first tour in
the trenches he was assigned
to organize concert parties and-
entertainment for the men in the
reserve area.
Mr. McLaren's entertainment
company met with such success
that they were soon assigned to
providing entertainment on a full
time basis and soon combined
with the "Dumbells" to work on
divisional shows.
After the war the "Dumbells"
played coast to coast in Canada
as well as in several American
cities and eventually found itself
on broadway.
The "Dumbells" were to
continue to be a theatrical
success across North America
for-another 10 years but in 1922
Jack McLaren turned his back on
theatre and went into business
at Toronto.
‘ He opened the McLaren
Advertising Agency on the same
day and in • the same city as
another Jack McLaren opened a
similar agency. The second
McLaren went into advertising
work for newspapers while our
McLaren involved himself with
the direct mail and public re-
lations branch of the business.
"It was really ,quite a
coincidence," Jack recalls,
"and we were forever getting
each other's telephone calls."
