In 1919 Jackson he became a founding member of the Group of Seven which includes famous Canadian artists Lawren Harris and A.J. Casson.

The Group had previously been known as The Algonuin School.

Often referring to their style as Post-Impressionist, the Group of Seven artists centred on the panoramas of the Canadian landscapes.

Group of Seven paintings often feature bright color in a dynamic form which evoke a romanticised notion of Canadian vistas.

It is true to say that, A.Y. Jackson and the Group of Seven painters influenced a new generation of Canadian artists.

Jackson exhibited with them until around 1929. His famous painting The Red Maple was painted in 1914 is on display at the National Gallery of Canada.

Jackson's Red Maple oil painting has become emblematic of Canada and the red maple leaf.   The painting originates from an Oxtongue River sketch by A.Y. Jackson.
