A lovely recent post on Orion Magazine’s Facebook page:
Lawren Harris’s “Mount Robson from the Northeast.”
A.Y. Jackson’s “Nellie Lake.”
Franklin Carmichael’s “Mirror Lake.”
“2015 marks 95 years since the Algonquin School painters mounted their first exhibition. Also called The Group of Seven, its members’ works were inspired by the Canadian landscape. They believed that a distinct Canadian art could be developed through direct contact with nature, a wonderful mission statement for this, their country’s first major national art movement.”

The Group of Seven – our national treasure. Thank you for highlighting their work. 🙂
It’s my pleasure!
I didn’t quite see Orion’s FB link on Group of 7.
Canada’s art and environmental movements owe a great deal to the Group of Seven painters. They first revolutionized artistic expression of the Canadian landscape and Nature here with boldness yet timeliness.
Their paintings I am certain evoke Canadian memories of expansive, awesome Nature and what we need to preserve.
Hey Jean,
It was a post a bit back, on Feb 10.
I admit, I’m not well versed at all in my Canadian art history. Perhaps I should delve a bit deeper into it.
They revolutionized artistic interpretation of Canadian landscape from the paintings of colonial painters of darkness.
