Synopsis
A stunning, full-colour collection of the brilliant paintings that revolutionized Canadian art.
In the early twentieth century a group of young artists strived to create, in Lawren Harrisâ s words, paintings that would â embody the moods and character and spirit of the country.â The fifty-four breathtaking colour plates in this book confirm their success. Well-loved landscapes, like Tom Thomsonâ s Jack Pine, appear beside some unexpected treasures like Edwin Holgateâ s Nude in a Landscape. The essays by Joan Murray and Harris give historical context to the Group of Seven, and fascinating captions provide biographical notes and insightful critiques of each memberâ s style. No Canadian library is complete without this beautiful volume.
