Canada exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery

Dulwich Picture Gallery is holding a Canada exhibition until January 2012

From now until 8th January 2012, the Dulwich Picture Gallery will be hosting ‘Painting Canada: Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven’, an exhibition which showcases the work of seven of Canada‘s most famous landscape artists.

In the early twentieth century in Toronto, Canada, the first stirrings of a new movement of painting were being felt. A group of artists started to engage with the awesome Canadian wilderness, a landscape previously considered too wild and untamed to inspire ‘true’ art.

Tom Thomson paved the way for this artistic collective, the Group of Seven, and their works have become revered in Canada. This exhibition will reintroduce their stunning impressions of the Canadian landscape to the British public for the first time since the 1920s.

Tickets for this exhibition are £9 per adult and can be booked via the Eventbrite website. To find out more about this exhibition and the Dulwich Picture Gallery, please visit the Dulwich Picture Gallery website.
