Group of seven was a group of impressionist painters in the 1920s. They started in the 1910s painting scenery from the Canadian landscape in the new arts and crafts style. These paintings gained popularity rapidly, and by the 1920s, they were ready to have their first exhibition. Their paintings of the Canadian landscape gained popularity rapidly, captivating the imaginations of people who had never before seen land like what existed in Canada. These paintings by the group of seven artists have helped shape our Canadian identity, and no doubt, in a time before photography was able to capture such things, enticed many to come to Canada. Paintings by group of seven painters are still considered to be some of the finest impressionist paintings, something which I think is worthy of being proud of.
Good summary Nathan. With a landscape as diverse as Canada's, I'm glad that the Group of Seven was able to capture a few snap shots of how beautiful this country really is. A definite proud moment!
