Work Of The Group Of Seven

 I begin today with Stormy Weather, Georgian Bay, a 1921 painting by F.H. Varley of the Group of Seven.

Fire Swept Algoma dates to 1920, and is by Franz Johnston of the Group.

The Solemn Land was painted in 1921 by J.E.H. Macdonald of the Group.

A September Gale, Georgian Bay is a dramatic 1921 work by Arthur Lismer, yet another member of the Group of Seven.

This is one of my favourite works by a member of the Group. A.Y. Jackson painted The Red Maple in 1914.

Not a member of the Group, but certainly a contemporary. David Milne went to war as a soldier and a war artist, painting The Cathedral, Arras in 1919.

This is Bramshott: Interior Of The Wesleyan Hut by Milne, another painting from 1919.

I leave off today with a series of sketches by Tom Thomson, who was such an influence on his friends who would become the Group of Seven. These would be done in the field, not just by Thomson, but the others. The ideas would later get transferred to full canvases.
