| John Goodwin Lyman, was born at
Biddeford, Maine, and brought to Canada as a child. He
went to Europe in 1907 and studied with Marcel Beroneau in
Paris; at the Royal College of Art, London; and at
Julian's in Paris. He was a pupil of Henri Matisse; a
friend of Per Krogh, Matthew Smith, and James Morrice. He
returned to Canada in 1913, but his exhibitions were not
well received. From 1919-1931 he travelled and painted in
France, North Africa, Spain, the West Indies, and Bermuda,
then returned to Montreal. He is a founder of the
Contemporary Arts Society, Montreal, 1939, and has had a
decisive influence on the development of the Montreal
School since that time.
