Biographical Sketch
Ruth Barker Hood (1903- ) and William Hood (1904-1994) met several members of the Group of Seven, including A.Y. Jackson (1882-1974) and Arthur Lismer (1885-1969), when they were members of the Toronto Art Students' League and Ruth was a student at the Ontario School of Art (1927- ca. 1931). After marrying in 1930 and moving the northern mining town of Swastika, Ontario in 1931, the Hoods corresponded with Jackson, Lismer, and Lawren Harris (1885-1970), particularly from early 1931 to late 1932, when Jackson invited them to participate in the November 1931 Group of Seven show at the Art Gallery of Toronto.
