Group of Seven (artists)

The Group of Seven was a group of Canadian landscape painters in the 1920s, originally consisting of Franklin Carmichael, Lawren Harris, A. Y. Jackson, Frank Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J. E. H. Macdonald, and Frederick Varley. Tom Thomson was also associated with the Group, but was never an official member, since he died before the Group was formed. Emily Carr was inspired and admired by the Group, and was invited to take part in art shows—a radical invitation for a woman at that time—but Carr was also never an official member. Other artists eventually joined the Group, which was then renamed the Canadian Group.
