Jones Gallery Lecture Series presents an introduction to the Group of Seven. We will examine the life and work of major artists in the group, including Lawren Harris (1885–1970), A.Y. Jackson (1882–1974), and Franklin Carmichael (1890–1945), their collective and individual approach to landscape, common themes and motifs, and the group's role in early twentieth century Canadian art history.
