	Group of Seven (artists) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Group of Seven was strongly influenced by European Impressionism of the late Nineteenth Century in the Montmartre district of Paris.
		In 1919 they began to call themselves the Group of Seven, and by 1920 they were ready for their first exhibition.
		The Group's influence was so widespread by the end of 1931 that they no longer found it necessary to continue as a group of painters.

	Group of Seven (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.

	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.
		While some of the other Group artists were starting to sell their landscapes by the 30's, Varley, like Harris, wasn't painting Group of Seven landscapes anymore, and he suffered severe economic problems right through the thirties and forties.

	Journal of Canadian Studies: group of seven and the tourist landscape in Western Canada, or the more things change..., ...
		Historians of Canadian culture have demonstrated increasing awareness that the Group of Seven and the ideas of nation advanced in and around their work were never as fully embraced by the public at large as once assumed.
		Using the artists' work in western Canada as a case study, this paper argues that this touristic experience of the nonhuman environment was intimately tied as well to the emergence of mass tourism, which took shape as a state-coordinated industry in Canada in the 1920s.
		The Group's success in articulating this regional identity was, and is, such that the lack of acceptance of their work and ideas in other regions of the country (even within the realm of high culture) has never been disputed.

	The Group of Seven
		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).

		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.
		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.
		If artists reflect the soul of a people, then it is possible that not just artists, but Canadians in general, were looking elsewhere for meaning in their country.
