The Best of the Group of Seven

The Best of the Group of Seven
- Used Book in Good Condition
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€œembody 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.
