  Artchive: Group of Seven
During the next 13 years, the Group of Seven were constantly in the press, rebutting the critics, raising Canadian's awareness of the beauty of their country, and insisting that the Canadians support Canadian art.
In 1933 the Group was dissolved and reformed into the larger Canadian Group of Painters, but across much of Canada, or at least, across English speaking Canada, people still consider the Group of Seven to be their national school.
His impact on the future members of the Group of Seven and on Canadian art in general was out of all proportion to the few years that he was at work.

It appears that the Group of Seven operates in "cycles." According to Professor John Kirton from the University of Toronto, the first was from 1975 to 1981 and consisted of annual meetings with the leaders, accompanied by their ministers of foreign affairs and finance.

  Group of Seven   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Group of Seven was founded in 1920 as an organization of self-proclaimed modern artists.
The Group were not exclusively landscape painters, and it was only after their first exhibition at the Art Gallery of Toronto in 1920 that they began to identify themselves as a landscape school.
The Group realized they could hardly call themselves a national school of painters as long as they all lived in Toronto, so they invited other artists to join them: in 1930 Edwin HOLGATE from Montréal and in 1932 L.L. from Winnipeg were admitted to give the organization a wider geographic base.

 The Group of Seven   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Group of Seven argued strongly against pastoralism, claiming it was not a truly Canadian artistic style because it derived from European painting styles.
Later studies of the Group of Seven have tended to emphasize the harshness with which critics and the public first treated the new art, but it is also clear that the Group quickly made important and powerful allies who supported their conception of a truly Canadian art.
In 1933, the Group of Seven was formally dissolved and replaced by the larger Canadian Group of Painters.

 The Group of Seven
The Group of Seven and their rough sketching trips into the Canadian wilderness with canoe and sketchbox are a part of the collective Canadian imagination.
The analysis of the reception of the Group of Seven thus provides a contextualization of modernism that suggests that the discourses of modernism and nationalism are not mutually exclusive, but can operate in mutually beneficial symbiotic relationships, also outside a specific Canadian context.
Consequently, the writer dismisses the impressionist landscape discourse the Group broke with as unsuited for the Canadian climate: "These were techniques suited to civilized beaches or cafés; they were power-less against the mounded rocks, the brown, lucent water and the strong green spruce and pine of the [Algonquin] park." (Darroch 1981:22).

 book review | the group of seven and tom thomson   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Three more would be added over the next decade or so, as the Group became a movement of sorts in the Canadian art scene, mixing their peculiarly Protestant spiritualism with a benevolent nationalism to create a body of mostly landscape work that ended up defining the way Canada looked at itself.
This, at least, is the conventional wisdom on the group, and it has a kind of historical weight when you consider that, as Silcox points out, eighty percent of Canada’s six and a half million population lived in small towns and rural areas when the Group was founded.
Most of the group’s core members, and Harris in particular, spent years before and after the founding of the group painting glimpses of a Toronto that’s long vanished, a place that looks like a village in some canvases, like a huge factory in others.

Its lakes, rivers, hills and trees have formed the core of the inspiration for the Group from its inception, with the famous Boxcar trips into Algoma by rail on the Algoma Central Railway.
It was after the 1919 Algoma trip that the artists decided to organize an exhibition and to call themselves the Group of Seven.
The Group recognized early the power of the Precambrian Shield to the consciousness of all Canadians, and their inspirational representations of Algoma and Northern Ontario live as a tribute to the force and beauty of the region's geography.

 Freshwater Website: Water and Art (The Group of Seven)
At first the works of the Group of Seven were subjected to bitter denunciation for the "decadent ideas" they were propagating, and which some columnists considered "an affront to common decency." Such criticism served to draw attention to the artists.
The Group themselves played an important part in the claiming of northern Canada as the domain of the artist as well as the explorer, interpreting and endowing it with meaning.
Perhaps the Group of Seven realized that their renown, while serving to give Canadians a new picture of the landscape, also made it difficult for other artists to accomplish this same task.

The paintings of the Group of Seven and their precursor Tom Thomson have defined for nearly a century not only the landscape of Canadian art, but the Canadian landscape itself, by creating more than anyone else the collective imagination of our home and native land.
While the Group's collective style helped define "The Idea of North," which dominated Canada's national identity through the 20th century, Silcox weighs in on the current round of Group revisionism by casting light on the impact of the urban experience on the artists.
The members called themselves the Group of Seven, but there were eventually ten members and one Tom Thomson, who died before it was established, remained a major influence on the group.
