Summary
In 1920, when the Group of Seven was founded, free rail passes were still available to Canadian artists so they would make images that would familiarize Eastern Canadians with the West - and almost all of the Group's members used… the perk. Commentary by six Canadian scholars and curators explores the deep importance of the West for the artists and their work. Includes insights into A.Y. Jackson and Edwin Holgate's interpretations - and misinterpretations - of the Skeena people, and Frederick Varley's troubled relationships with his wife and lovers. Some descriptions of sex. 2002.
