商品簡介
An exploration of the lives and works of the members of the Beaver Hall Group, and the women in it who went on to form a vital network of Canadian artists.
This book portrays the lives and works of the original members, as well as the connections between women artists that persisted after its demise. Like the Group of Seven, the Beaver Hall Group was founded in 1920 and was in the vanguard of bringing Modernism to Canada. However, uniquely, Beaver Hall Group accepted women, including some who now rank among the country's most outstanding painters.
Written for the casual student and scholar alike, The Beaver Hall Group and Its Legacy takes a revealing look at their stories and the art scene of Montreal's Jazz age. Gorgeous photography of over seventy historic works, along with critical reactions, illuminate the artist's lives.
