Baffin Island

The Group of Seven (active 1920–1933, Canada) were pioneering landscape painters who defined a distinctly Canadian school of art. Originally including Franklin Carmichael, Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, Frank Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. MacDonald, and Frederick Varley, the group later welcomed A.J. Casson, Edwin Holgate, and Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald. Influenced by Tom Thomson, their bold interpretations of wilderness and light established Canada’s first national art movement.
