The Group of Seven is a collective of seven influential Canadian landscape painters active in the early 20th century. They are known for their vibrant use of color and unique interpretations of the Canadian wilderness. The group includes artists such as Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, and Emily Carr, who sought to capture the beauty of Canada's natural landscapes. Formed in 1920, the Group of Seven aimed to create a distinct Canadian art style, moving away from European influences. Their work played a significant role in establishing a national identity in Canadian art, and they remain celebrated figures in the country's cultural history.
