| This course looks through a post-colonial lens at a formative period (c.1920 to 1960s) that saw the advent of competing strands of modernism in Canada. The Group of Seven offered their stylized yet conservative northern landscapes as symbols of Canadian national unity, while Quebec artists countered with visions based in social memory and formal experimentation. First Nations, erased from the landscape in the Group’s paintings, then extended their ancestral traditions to address a wider public. Finally, as designers and artists adapted the international concepts of Modernism and High Realism to regionally varied Canadian settings, Canada celebrated its coming-of-age with Expo 67. |
