Group of Seven
Capturing the Spirit and Beauty of Nature
The Group of Seven was a group of Canadian landscape painters from 1920 to 1933 that aimed to develop a new cultural and national identity for Canada with the idea of creating a specific Canadian landscape art form. The artists executed paintings that show uninhabited areas with majestic and radiant scenery. What they painted did not aim for realism, it depicted the pure beauty of nature in an almost symbolic form. Within these forms, they captured the magic and spirituality of nature. With vivid and strong colors, they translated the spirit of the wilderness into art. Ancient forests and lakes in remote areas, views of glaciers in the Arctic, and magical northern lights were their main subjects.
