Seven

 Lawren Harris of the Group of Seven painted Decorative Landscape in 1917.


Here we have another work by Tom Thomson. The Pool was done over the winter of 1915-16.


Arthur Lismer, another member of the Group, painted The Guide's Home, Algonquin in 1914.


Northern River dates to 1914-15, and is by Thomson.


Autumn's Garland, another work by Thomson, is from 1915-16.


Snow Clouds is a 1938 painting by Franklin Carmichael of the Group.


The influence of the Group is strong in this work by an artist associated with them- H. Mabel May, who worked with A.Y. Jackson. This is Melting Snow, done around 1925.


Dorothy Stevens painted this portrait, simply called Amy, around 1930.


I've always liked this particular painting: Portrait Of Ethel Southam (Mrs. F.H. Toller), a 1938 canvas by Lilias Torrance Newton.


And I finish today with Early Autumn, a 1938 painting by Edwin Holgate, who came to join the Group of Seven in the last years of their exhibiting together.

  8. La naturaleza, es una buena fuente de inspiración para los artistas.
    Me ha impresionado la fotografía nº 11, con ese gran retrato. Tiene mucha expresividad la mujer que aparece en el retrato.

  14. If the Group of Seven wanted to make Canada's very special nark on the art world, then landscapes would be the most important contribution. The two portraits are lovely but they could come from lots of countries.

    1. Lawren Harris as time went on became more and more abstract.
