Summary:
One of the most important artistic groups in 20th-century
Canadian
art. Founded in 1933 in reaction to the established view of the
Group
of Seven as the "national art of Canada", this diverse
group
of progressive young
artists
was the first to aspire to cross-Canada representation of modernist art. Yet the
Canadian
Group
of
Painters
(CGP) has not entered popular lexicon as did its famous predecessor. This publication sheds new light on the artistic and social impact of the CGP in the first and most dynamic decades of its existence, from 1933 to 1953. Forty-eight paintings by forty-eight key members convey the richness of the
group
's practice: new visions of landscape, bold depictions of people and fresh experiments in abstraction. In contrast to the
Group
of Seven, the
Canadian
Group
of
Painters
was engaged with modern life during the turbulent times of the Depression, World War II and post-war reconstruction thereby making it a vital force.
