But in the early part of the 20th century, these artists were engaged in a struggle for acceptance, mocked by critics and the public alike. Who were the Group of Seven? In 'The Group of Seven and Tom Thomson,' author Anne Newlands explores the ambitions and visions of this unique cast of characters, capturing the cultural and historical realities of their time and bringing to life their artistic response to the Canadian wilderness. Writing with insight and enthusiasm, Newlands offers us an informative introduction to the lives and work of the artists who have come to symbolize the Canadian spirit. / Anne Newlands works as an art educator at the National Gallery of Canada. She is author of 'Canadian Art: From Its Beginnings to 2000' and 'Emily Carr: An Introduction to Her Life and Art.'" - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Turn-of-the-century Toronto; Who were the Group of Seven?; The need to be different; How did they meet?; The Arts and Letters Club; Introducing Lawren Harris; Urban scenes and industry; The Scandinavian influence; A.
