Thursday Thoughts: Group of Seven (Part III)
Here’s the last segment of Leon’s Art Appreciation.
While not official members, two artists commonly associated with the group are Tom Thomson (1877–1917) and Emily Carr (1871–1945). Tom Thompson died before the formation of the Group or Seven, but his style had an influence on the works that would follow.
Northern Lake, Winter (1913)
Emily Carr is most famous for west coast landscapes, most notably showcasing indigenous culture of the region.
Heida (1928)
And that ends my foray into the world of Canadian art. You can visit https://thegroupofseven.ca/ for more.
