TASKL Lecture:'Wild men of the North: Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven' This is a hybrid lecture so all are welcome

In 1924 an exhibition in London of Canadian landscapes moved the critic C Lewis Hind to celebrate them as ‘the most vital group of paintings produced since the war – indeed, this century’. These landscapes of Canada’s northern lakes and rugged backwoods, painted in a boldly Post-Impressionist style, had been produced over the previous decade by a collective of Toronto-based painters known as the ‘Group of Seven’, whose aim was to forge a national school of landscape painting.
