Canadian Group of Painters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Group of Painters was a group of noted Canadian painters formed in 1931. The impetus was the Group of Seven painters, who mainly painted nature or landscapes. They had an enormous influence on Canadian art.
The group lasted around 11 years and in 1932, J. E. H. MacDonald died and the Group of Seven disbanded. In their wake rose a new group called the Canadian Group of Painters, of which Group of Seven members included Lawren Harris, A. J. Casson, Arthur Lismer, A. Y. Jackson, and Franklin Carmichael. Their first exhibition was November 1933. As active painters and as a group they continued to produce and influence Canadian art.
The Eastern Group of Painters was formed in Montréal, Québec in 1938 to counteract the influence of the Canadian Group of Painters.
