entire spectrum of the proficient and prolific group's magnificent

alive: a veritable hymn to life." "
-- Booklist
At a critical time in Canada's history, the Group of Seven
revolutionized the country's appreciation of itself by celebrating
Canada as a wild and beautiful land. These paintings of the
wilderness evoke the same response in viewers today as they did
when first exhibited.
Now in paperback, "The Group of Seven and Tom Thomson" is even
more affordable than the celebrated original hardcover edition.
This award-winning bestseller includes many never-before reproduced
paintings and presents the most complete and extensive collection
of these artists' works ever published. The 400 paintings and
drawings reveal the remarkable genius of all 10 painters who, at
some point, were part of the movement. Tom Thomson, who died before
the Group was established, was always present in the public
mind.
Included are works by: Frank Carmichael Frank Johnston A.J.
Casson Arthur Lismer Le Moine FitzGerald J.E.H. MacDonald Lawren
Harris Tom Thomson Edwin Holgate F.H. Varley A.Y. Jackson.
The artwork is organized by the various regions of Canada, with
additional sections on the war years and still-life paintings.
Introductory essays provide a context for a greater understanding
and appreciation of Canada's most celebrated artists.
