Ten women artists, counterparts of the Group of Seven, are finally being given their due. Long overlooked by critics and historians, they are today amongst the most sought-after Canadian painters. The Beaver Hall Group ventured into a male-dominated art world, lived remarkable lives, and produced exceptional work. This beautifully produced book portrays the life and work of Emily Coonan, Nora Collyer, Prudence Heward, Mabel Lockerby, Mabel May, Sarah Robertson, Anne Savage, and Ethel Seath. Long-lost catalogues, old newspaper reviews, and personal papers document their story, and more than 60 reproductions bring to light paintings that have lain hidden for more than fifty years.
"A master draughtsman, artist Evan Macdonald had extraordinary facility as a painter - in oil, acrylic, tempera, and watercolour - as well as a printmaker (particularly in drypoint and mezzotint) and a book illustrator. This beautifully illustrated book chronicles Macdonald's life and work from the perspective of the artist's daughter, Flora Macdonald Spencer, whose insightful essay creates a lasting image of a great Canadian artist." "Literally hundreds of his streetscapes, landscapes, portraits, and drawings survive today in private collections across Canada. At the end of his life, Macdonald was bestowed an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University of Guelph, an acknowledgement of his artistic legacy. The painter's life is richly documented by Flora Macdonald Spencer in her poignant telling of his journey."--BOOK JACKET.
