Love of Canadian Wilderness
Love of Canadian Wilderness features artwork by the Group of Seven from the Art Gallery of Algoma's permanent collection.
The Group of Seven in Canadian art history remains the most recognizable art group for over a century. One of their favourite places to paint and visit was Algoma and the shores of Lake Superior. This rugged landscape, mostly wild and untouched, remains to this day an inspiration to many contemporary artists. The way in which the Group of Seven artists depicted Canadian landscape is still the image instilled in people’s minds when they think about Canada. It is a perception of stunning natural beauty, adventure in the wilderness, solitude, and admiration of nature. Algoma is a huge part of it. |
