      -- Nineteen twenties modernism in Montreal - The Beaver Hall Group
      By Des Rochers, Jacques  Foss, Brian  Bondil, Nathalie  Sicotte, Hélène  Trépanier, Esther, 1951-  Huneault, Kristina  Lebeau, Justine
       2015., General, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts ; Black Dog Publishing Call No: NEW 759.11 B759m    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Taking their name from the downtown street in Montreal where members shared a studio in the early 1920s, The Beaver Hall Group were early adopters of new modernistic approaches to painting and explored their potential within a variety of genres, including portrait, still life, landscape and prescient scenes of urbanity. As well as providing an artistic window into the modern lives of Canadians during this transformational period of history, as a collective The Beaver Hall Group are exceptional for their inclusion of female artists as core members. Initially comprising of both genders, the group would become an all-female collective that includes some of Canada's most celebrated modern painters. Through a series of comprehensive contextual essays The Beaver Hall Group: 1920s Modernism in Montreal interweaves the work of this pioneering artistic collective within a broader narrative of the arts in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring the groups' greater role in the modernity of Canada--and more specifically the cultural context of Montreal--the book takes on core themes such as the rise of the metropolis, juxtapositions between economic progress and cultural development, and the impact of gender on critical approaches to both artists and their work.

       2015., Adult, Art Gallery of Ontario Call No: 759.11 H314i    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "This generously illustrated book examines the most significant period in the work of Lawren Harris, who was central to defining a distinctive Canadian art in the 20th century. Sparse landscapes of Lake Superior's northern shores, bold visions of the Rocky Mountains and haunting landscapes from the Eastern Arctic are hallmark themes of Lawren Harris's paintings. He was a founding member of the renowned "Group of Seven" artists' group, who believed that the Canadian landscape was central to the foundation of a national identity. Focusing on Harris's most important work of the 1920s through the early 1930s, this monograph shows the artist's remarkable use of color, light, and composition resulting in powerful scenes that reflect his progress toward a universal vision of nature's spiritual power"--Provided by publisher.
