This is a complete presentation on Canada Art History Group of Seven which is highly visual and thoroughly annotated.
EXCERPT: Group of 7 OVERVIEW Bullet Points:
Artists who grouped together to contribute to giving Canada a distinctive voice in painting. The group’s niche became painting the North American wilderness. Group of Seven was also known as the Algonquin School. it consisted of Canadian landscape painters.
THE original members were: Franklin Carmichael, Lawren Harris, A. Y. Jackson, Frank Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J. E. H. MacDonald, and Frederick Varley.
its aim was to create a distinct Canadian art through direct contact with nature. The first major Canadian national art movement came about from efforts of Group of Seven. Other groups were born from the Group of Seven.
Tom Thomson, J. E. H. MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frederick Varley, Frank Johnston and Franklin Carmichael met as employees of the commercial art firm Grip Ltd. in Toronto. They were joined by A. Y. Jackson and Lawren Harris..
MacCallum also owned land on Georgian Bay which he made available to the artists.
In 1917, Thomson, a guide at Algonquin Park, died while canoeing there. He had suffered a blow to the head but did not drown. Thus the circumstances surrounding his death were never solved.
Thomson was slated to be among the Group, which formed not long after. It would have thus been the Group of Eight had he lived.
The group had the support of Eric Brown, the director of the National Gallery.
All of these men had a considerable problem to overcome. This was that most in the art community thought the Canadian landscape was not worthy of being painted.
