Winner, Canadian Museums Association's Outstanding Achievement in
Research Award and IPPY Awards Silver Medal -- Fine Art CategoryA
Toronto Star Holiday Gift Guide SelectionA Like Vision is a lavish
celebration of the legacy of Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven,
Canada's canonical landscape painters. The Group's depiction of the
rugged beauty of the Canadian landscape -- from the coastal
mountains of British Columbia to the north shore of Lake Superior,
the villages of rural Quebec, and the rocky, windswept coves of
Newfoundland -- charged Canadians to experience their country in a
bold new light and changed the face of Canadian art forever.
Through their vigorous and expressive painterly style and vibrant
colours, the Group of Seven significantly contributed to Canada's
sense of autonomy and identity as a modern state in the aftermath
of the First World War. Featuring three hundred full-colour images,
A Like Vision includes a lead essay by Ian A. C. Dejardin,
Executive Director of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, and
contributions by a host of artists, curators, and writers. Among
them are Indigenous art historian and curator Gerald McMaster,
filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal, novelists David Macfarlane and Jane
Urquhart, painters John Hartman and Robert Houle, and Inuk writer
Tarralik Duffy. One hundred years on from the Group's first
exhibition in 1920, A Like Vision is both a chance to review the
Group's legacy and a tribute to these giants of Canadian art and
culture.
