The Group of Seven was a collective of Canadian landscape painters, active mainly in the 1920s and 1930s, known for their bold, expressive depictions of the Canadian wilderness.
Formed in 1920, the original members included:
Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, Franklin Carmichael, J.E.H. MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frederick Varley, and Frank Johnston.
Their work captured the rugged beauty of Canada’s forests, lakes, and northern landscapes with a modern, nationalistic spirit. Though initially controversial, the Group helped shape the identity of Canadian art and became foundational to its art history.
If you have a historical artwork to sell, or are interested in acquiring exceptional works by Canadian artists, we’d love to hear from you.
At Canadian Fine Arts, we believe every collector should have a personal library and deepen their knowledge of their favourite art movements and artists’ histories.
