Beyond Wilderness : The Group of Seven, Canadian Identity and Contemporary Art

Abstract

"Beyond Wilderness expands the public understanding of Canadian landscape representation, tracing debates about the place of landscape in Canadian art and the national imagination through the twentieth century to the present. Critical writings by curators, historians, media theorists, and cultural critics and exactingly reproduced artworks by contemporary and historical artists are brought together in productive dialogue. Beyond Wilderness explains why landscape art in Canada had to be reinvented, and what forms that reinvention took" -- p.[4] of cover
