The Group of Seven
The Group of Seven was a group of male artists who formed together in the 192o's. Starting in Toronto, these artists were determined and wantred to express their experiences with Canadian landscape through paintings. At this time Canada was not known for the arts, but with the uniting of this group, people found the appreciation for Canadian art increasing rapidly. From coast to coast and through all weather these seven men brought out the uniqueness of our Country. "After 1919, most creative people, whether in painting, writing or music ,began to have a guilty feeling that Canada was as yet unwritten, unpainted and unsung.....in 1920, there was a job to be done"-Arthur Lismer (group member).
