Frederick Varley, Tom Thomson, J.E.H MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frank Johnston, and Franklin Carmichael would first meet as employees at the design firm Grip Ltd in Toronto. These six men would come together during and after work discussing bold new directions for Canadian Art, they were joined by A.Y Jackson and Lawren Harris in 1913. With the support of Dr. James MacCallum, an artist and university professor, the group raised money to build the Studio Building for Canadian Art in Toronto. It was there that they would create masterpieces as they discovered the distinct light of the Canadian atmosphere and capture it in bold new ways. The production the group was interrupted as they suffered tragedy when Tom Thomson, one of the founding members died in mysterious circumstances; shortly after, some of the members left to serve in the First World War. It was not until 1920 that the Group of Seven officially formed with their first exhibition in Toronto. Once their popularity grew, the artists began to travel Canada capturing what inspired them. The group shared a like vision concerning art in Canada.

  • John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism
    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

Silcox. The artworks within this guide and images required for the learning activities and culminating task can be found in the Tom Thomson Image File provided. Tom Thomson (1877–1917) is one of Canada’s most famous artists: his landscape paintings of northern Ontario have become iconic artworks, well-known throughout the country and a critical touchstone for Canadian artists. Thomson was passionate about the outdoors, and he was committed to experimenting with new ways to paint landscape. He had several friends who shared these interests, such as A.Y. Jackson (1882–1974), Lawren Harris (1885–1970), and J.E.H. MacDonald (1873–1932); a few years after his premature death, these friends helped establish the Group of Seven, a collection of artists often credited with transforming Canadian art by creating modern depictions of national landscapes.

  • Elements & Principles of Design
    CANADIAN ART: The Late 1800’s Canadian artists working in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s painted landscapes in a fairly realistic style. They painted what they saw without expressing any feeling or emotions. This style of painting landscapes with a soft, quiet, tame, and inviting appearance originated in Europe. These landscapes were full of realistic details and natural colours, but they lacked personal expression. Homer Watson John A. Fraser September Afternoon, Eastern At the Rogers Pass, Summit of the Townships 1873 Selkirk Range, B.C. 1886 CANADIAN ART: THE GROUP OF SEVEN The Group of Seven was founded in 1920 to develop a new style of Canadian painting with a distinct Canadian identity. These artists painted what they saw, but added imagination and feeling. They were especially interested in expressing the wild, untamed spirit of the Canadian wilderness in their paintings. The artists often travelled into the wilderness to make sketches in the open air. They wanted to capture the atmosphere, the effects of light, and the spirituality and ruggedness of the northern Canadian landscape. In order to accomplish this, their style was also rugged, expressive, and powerful. THE GROUP OF SEVEN PAINTING STYLE a)Colours: bold and vibrant or bold and dark/dull high contrast between lights and darks b) Shapes/Forms: simplified with few details almost 2 dimensional abstract c) Brushstrokes: thick paint application (impasto) often visible (not blended) Franklin Carmichael Lake Wabagishik 1928 Mirror Lake 1929 Arthur Lismer A September Gale, Georgian Bay 1921 Bright Land 1938 J.E.H.
