In La deshumanizacion del arte The dehumanization of art~ (1925), Ortega argued that there were two types of art, one for the masses and one for the elite.
The ideas presented in Revista de Occidente Magazine of the West~ (1923 to the present), a magazine founded by Ortega, reflected the views of intellectuals concerned with Spain's acceptance of modernity--or what Jimenez Millan called "bourgeois intelligence";(6) this position was opposed to the concept of the "vanguard" as understood in Marxist terms.
Post-Guerra, a publication that was short-lived owing to lack of financial support, promoted an art for the masses and in so doing implicitly or explicitly opposed art for the elite, such as Futurism.

 Malaspina Great Books - Group of Seven (1920-1932)
Long before the Group of Seven was formed Carl Ahrens (1862-1936), a Canadian impressionist artist had argued for a Canadian art free from "alien influences." He campaigned for a group of pioneers who would ignore foreign trends and set a national standard independent of the currents of Post-Impressionism and Futurism.
This truly Canadian art movement was started, not by professional painters, but by a loose association of acquaintances who travelled north from Toronto on their vacations to paint and relax.
The influence of the Group of Seven art movement is seen in the works of many other artists of this period.
