About this book
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 Harris s words paintings that would embody the moods and character and spirit of the country. The fifty-four breathtaking colour plates in this book confirm their success. Well-loved landscapes like Tom Thomson s Jack Pine appear beside some unexpected treasures like Edwin Holgate 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 member s style. No Canadian library is complete without this beautiful volume.
