Meet the Group of Seven
A beautiful introduction to Canada’s famous artists. In 1920, a group of Toronto artists exhibited their work together for the first time. They called themselves the Group of Seven. Their paintings were very different from the art of the time. Some people were excited by their unique styles, and some were horrified. It took years for their work to be fully appreciated. But today, the Group of Seven are some of Canada’s best-loved artists. Here’s a must-have reference to the artists who changed the landscape of Canadian art forever.

Beyond Wilderness
"The great purpose of landscape art is to make us at home in our own country" was the nationalist maxim motivating the Group of Seven's artistic project. The empty landscape paintings of the Group played a significant role in the nationalization of nature in Canada, particularly in the development of ideas about northernness, wilderness, and identity.

By emphasizing social relations...

The Group of Seven in Western Canada
For more than 80 years, The Group of Seven has been Canada`s best-known art collective. Founded in 1920, the Group--Franklin Carmichael, Lawren S. Harris, A.Y. Jackson, Frank H. Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. MacDonald, Frederick H. Varley, A.J.

In creating their art, the Group also contributed greatly to Canada`s emerging sense of identity. In their inaugural exhibition catalogue, the Group poignantly wrote: `An art must grow and flower in the land before the country will be a real home for its people.` In The Group of Seven in Western Can...
