Mystic Learnings: The Group of Seven

The year is 1920. Canada is about to experience an artistic cataclysm. Seven young artists would come together to form the Group of Seven—and would be hailed as Canada’s most famous painters. The Group of Seven shared a common cause: to bring appreciation to local landscapes often seen as harsh and boring. The artists took inspiration from the country’s vast wilderness and established a style that taught Canadians to finally love their own land. Together, the group started one of the most influential movements in Canadian art. This is their story.
