Description

“Silcox [is] a wonderfully lucid stylist . . . this definitive volume presents 400 supreme color reproductions . . . covering all of the spectrum of the proficient and prolific group’s magnificent output . . . each painting is vibrantly, radiantly, and gloriously alive: a veritable hymn to life.”
— Booklist

At a critical time in Canada’s history, the Group of Seven revolutionized the country’s appreciation of itself by celebrating Canada as a wild and beautiful land. These paintings of the wilderness evoke the same response in viewers as of late as they did when first exhibited.

Now in paperback, The Group of Seven and Tom Thomson is even more inexpensive than the celebrated original hardcover edition. This award-winning bestseller includes many never-before reproduced paintings and presents the most complete and extensive choice of these artists’ works ever published. The 400 paintings and drawings reveal the remarkable genius of all 10 painters who, in the future, were a part of the movement. Tom Thomson, who died before the Group used to be established, used to be at all times present in the public mind.

Included are works by:

  • Frank Carmichael
  • Frank Johnston
  • A.J. Casson
  • Arthur Lismer
  • Le Moine FitzGerald
  • J.E.H. MacDonald
  • Lawren Harris
  • Tom Thomson
  • Edwin Holgate
  • F.H. Varley
  • A.Y. Jackson.

The artwork is organized by the quite a lot of regions of Canada, with additional sections on the war years and still-life paintings. Introductory essays provide a context for a greater understanding and appreciation of Canada’s most celebrated artists.
