MEDIA PREVIEW THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 McMICHAEL GALLERY

MEDIA PREVIEW
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2010
11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Exhibition explores the bold emergence of Modernism
through Canadian artists

When: Thursday, September 30, 2010, 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Where: McMichael Canadian Art Collection, 10365 Islington Avenue, Kleinburg (just north of the Major Mackenzie Drive, Islington Avenue intersection)
Why: Defiant Spirits: The Modernist Revolution of the Group of Seven, organized by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection and guest-curated by internationally renowned, Governor General’s Award-winning author Ross King. A Canadian citizen living near Oxford, England, King has probed the characters, personalities, and times of the Group of Seven to tell a compelling, new story of these enormously influential artists and dynamic period in Canadian history. The exhibition opens on October 2, 2010.
Who: Meet exhibition curator and author, Ross King; meet McMichael Chief Curator, Katerina Atanassova.
What: This fall, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection will feature an insightful exhibition about the Group of Seven. Defiant Spirits: The Modernist Revolution of the Group of Seven explores the emergence of the modernist art movement within Canada. Although unfailingly controversial, modernism spread widely and rapidly as young artists who had studied in France returned to their homelands and began interpreting their own landscapes in the light of modern pictorial advances. In Canada, the most notable practitioners of this kind of modernist art – though by no means the only ones – would be the Group of Seven.
View over sixty works by the Group of Seven and other Canadian artists Paul Signac French, P.C. Sheppard, David Milne, Florence H. McGillivray, John Goodwin Lyman, R.S. Hewton, John Sloan Gordon, L.L. FitzGerald, William H. Clapp, Emily Carr, and Bertram Brooker.
The exhibition will be on at the McMichael from October 2, 2010 to January 30, 2011.
