The Group of Seven in Western CanadaIn Stock In The Group of Seven in Western Canada, Catharine Mastin, curator of the Glenbow exhibition, and five other Canadian scholars and curators (Robert Stacey, Marci Crosby, Liz Wylie, Anna Hudson, and Ann Davis) explore the inspiration and influence of the West on both the Group's artwork and their sense of national identity. A multiplicity of viewpoints are expressed in this book as each author explores the Group's relationship with the West from their own unique point of view. The book focuses on the significant themes and works produced by the Group from artistic, political, geographical, social, and cultural perspectives in order to create the first, and most comprehensive, study of the Group's western muse. With 130 stunning images and photographs to accompany the fascinating and insightful text, The Group of Seven in Western Canada is a unique and outstanding contribution to the history and legacy of Canadian art.
