SUMMARY:« Une Vision Commune » Les 100 Ans Du Groupe Des Sept
DESCRIPTION:« Une Vision Commune » Les 100 Ans Du Groupe Des Sept\n25 janvier 2020 – printemps 2021\nLawren S. Harris (1885-1970)Montreal River\, c. 1920oil on paperboard\, 27 x 34.7 cmGift of the Founders\, Robert and Signe McMichaelMcMichael Canadian Art Collection\n\n« Le groupe de sept artistes dont les tableaux sont ici réunis partagent depuis plusieurs années une vision commune de l’Art au Canada. »\n– Lawren Harris\, préface du catalogue accompagnant la première exposition du Groupe des Sept en mai 1920 \n\nLe 7 mai 1920\, sept artistes partageant « une vision commune » lancent un nouveau mouvement dans le cadre d’une exposition présentée à l’Art Museum of Toronto (actuel Musée des beaux-arts de l’Ontario). Les membres de ce « Groupe des Sept » sont tous des hommes : Lawren Stewart Harris\, James Edward Hervey MacDonald\, Alexander Young Jackson\, Arthur Lismer\, Frederick Horsman Varley\, Franklin Carmichael et Francis Hans (Frank\, puis Franz) Johnston. Sans doute prévue depuis 1913-1914\, la formation du Groupe a été différée par les événements\, notamment le début de Première Guerre mondiale à laquelle participent quatre des membres (Harris\, Jackson\, Lismer et Varley) et qui met brusquement fin aux études de Carmichael à Anvers. \nLes membres du Groupe\, tous des artistes connus\, sont amis et plusieurs d’entre eux travaillent comme dessinateurs publicitaires au sein de la même entreprise. Harris\, héritier des fabricants de machinerie agricole Massey-Harris\, est le seul à avoir une fortune personnelle. Sa richesse est sans conteste un atout\, mais c’est son dynamisme et sa détermination qui l’imposent comme le leader du Groupe. C’est dans sa luxueuse demeure au 63 Queen’s Park\, à Toronto\, que six des sept artistes se retrouvent pour fonder le Groupe des Sept en mars 1920. Jaskson\, qui peint dans la baie Georgienne\, n’est pas de la partie. Une autre absence se fait douloureusement sentir. Tom Thomson\, artiste\, ami\, confrère et source d’inspiration\, est mort au cours d’une tragique noyade dans le lac Canoe en juillet 1917. Harris écrira que Thomson « faisait partie intégrante de la formation et du développement [du Groupe] au même titre que les autres membres. » \nLe Groupe a présenté huit expositions. Perçus à l’origine comme des enfants terribles\, au moment de leur dernière exposition en 1932\, les membres du Groupe avaient réussi à repenser l’art canadien et s’imposaient comme le nouvel establishment de l’art. Johnston a quitté le Groupe dès 1924\, pour être remplacé en 1926 par Alfred Joseph Casson. En 1929 et 1932 respectivement\, Edwin Holgate et Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald se sont associés au Groupe. Tous\, à l’exception de J.E.H. MacDonald\, mort en 1932\, ont poursuivi leur carrière après la dissolution du Groupe\, celle de Casson se prolongeant sur une période de soixante ans. Cette exposition est consacrée à l’ensemble de la carrière de tous artistes. \nLa Collection McMichael d’art canadien a été créée en 1966 par Robert et Signe McMichael en grande partie pour célébrer l’œuvre du Groupe des Sept et certains de leurs contemporains. Ils se sont liés d’amitié avec Jackson\, Harris\, Varley\, Lismer\, Casson et Holgate et ont même logé Jackson à la fin de sa vie. Six membres du Groupe – Harris\, Johnston\, Varley\, Jackson\, Lismer et Casson – sont enterrés dans le cimetière des artistes du McMichael. \nCuratorial Talk with Ian Dejardin\nJanuary 25\, 2020marchandise d’expositionJ.E.H.

SUMMARY:Tom Thomson
DESCRIPTION:View eventEXHIBITION MERCHANDISETom Thomson\nOn view through April 3\, 2022\n\nAbout the Exhibition \nTom Thomson is often wrongly assumed to have been a member of the Group of Seven. He almost certainly would have been had he not died too soon. Although forever enshrined in Canadian legend as a young man—he was thirty-nine when he died—he would in fact have been the second eldest of the Group\, after J.E.H. MacDonald\, but he found his artistic voice late. He worked as a commercial artist under MacDonald at Grip Ltd.\, and it was the older artist who encouraged him to take painting seriously. \nThomson travelled to Algonquin Park for the first time in 1912\, returning every summer thereafter. His career as a serious artist really lasted only three or four years\, hitting its stride in 1914 when Dr. James MacCallum made an offer (also made to A.Y. Jackson) to underwrite his living expenses. This generosity allowed Thomson to concentrate fully on his art\, and he became one of the first artists to share a studio\, with Jackson\, in the newly built Studio Building in January 1914. Later he moved into the wooden shack nearby (now reconstructed at the McMichael)\, where he was to spend his winters painting. \nBy the end of 1914\, Thomson was beginning to disconcert the much more experienced Jackson with the brilliance of his oil sketches\, and over the next couple of years he electrified his friends with hundreds of those dazzling sketches\, while producing a handful of large-scale works that have become Canadian icons. \nDespite his considerable reputation as an outdoorsman\, canoeist\, and Algonquin guide\, Thomson drowned in Canoe Lake in July 1917 in circumstances that have remained mysterious ever since. His loss was a true tragedy for Canadian art and was keenly felt by his friends\, but his influence proved fundamental to the founding of the Group of Seven in 1920. \nFor media inquiries and more information\, please visit the Press Room. \nTom Thomson (1877 – 1917)Byng Inlet\, Georgian Bay\, 1914-1915oil on canvas71.5 x 76.3 cmPurchase with the Assistance of Donors and Wintario\nExploring Tom Thomson\nFebruary 10\, 2021\nVirtual Celebration of A Like Vision: The Group of Seven & Tom Thomson\nDecember 10\, 2020

SUMMARY:Jon Sasaki: Homage
DESCRIPTION:get exhibition merchandise \nview eventJon Sasaki: Homage\nJune 14\, 2021 – January 13\, 2022*\nAbout the Exhibition \nJon Sasaki: Homage is a suite of photographs depicting petri dishes with bloomed bacterial cultures derived from swabs of the palettes and brushes used by members of the Group of Seven and Tom Thomson\, objects held in the archives of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. These large-scale works are monumental in scale yet they reveal microscopic detail\, affirming a playful reverence towards the Group’s legacy while reframing the genre of landscape painting through the lens of photography. Through these glowing bacterial landscapes Sasaki has generated a new sublime\, a counterpoint to the quotidian nature of what lies beneath. The artifacts from which the microscopic organisms were gathered will be exhibited in dialogue with the photographs\, presenting a poignant entanglement of past and present-day artists in the story of Canadian art.  \nFor media inquiries and more information\, please visit the Press Room. \n*Jon Sasaki: Homage has been extended by popular request until Thursday\, January 13\, 2022. Please be aware that the Founders’ Lounge\, where the exhibition is on view\, may be closed on certain dates due to private events.  \nCelebrating the Group of Seven with Jon Sasaki\nMay 7\, 2021\nJon Sasaki\, Microbes Swabbed From a Palette Used by Franklin Carmichael (detail)\, 2020\, archival print\, 91.44 x 91.44 cm \, Image courtesy of the artist and Clint Roenisch Gallery\nJon Sasaki \, Microbes Swabbed from a Palette Used by F.H. Varley\, 2020\, archival print\, 91.44 x 91.44 cm\, Image courtesy of the artist and Clint Roenisch Gallery\nIncluded in General Admission \nFree for members Adult – $18\nSenior – $15\n25 and under – $5 \n  \nGET TICKETSget exhibition merchandise\n\n @  \n \nview event
