The Group of Seven occupies a central place in the history of Canadian art. Through their bold interpretations of the Canadian landscape, the Group helped establish a distinctly national artistic identity in the early twentieth century. Yet their story extends beyond the seven founding members themselves. Surrounding the Group was a broader circle of artists, students, colleagues, and contemporaries whose contributions enriched and expanded the movement’s influence across Canada.
This exhibition examines the artistic relationships that connected these individuals and explores how ideas, techniques, and approaches to landscape painting were shared across generations. Alongside works by Group of Seven members including A.Y. Jackson, J.E.H. MacDonald, Franklin Carmichael, Frank Johnston, Edwin Holgate, and A.J. Casson, visitors will encounter paintings by artists such as Doris McCarthy, John William Beatty, Herbert Sidney Palmer, Frederick Stanley Haines, Robert Pilot, Nora Collyer, Maurice Haycock, and others whose careers intersected with or were shaped by the Group’s legacy.
We are proud to collaborate with the Art Gallery of Georgina on this exhibition and look forward to sharing these remarkable works with the public.
