<br/><br/> It has been some 25 years since the last historical survey of Canada's important "Group of Seven" was undertaken, so this is a welcome addition to the literature of Canadian art. Hill, who is currently the curator of Canadian art for the National Gallery of Canada, lends his expertise to this study of the small group of artists who found abundant material in Canada's rich landscapes to promote a truly national art during the 1920s. The book complements a new touring exhibition of the Group of Seven's work that has been mounted by the National Gallery. It is a richly illustrated and beautifully written document, complete with scholarly apparatus. One minor complaint is the difficulty one encounters searching for illustrations of specific art works; italicized figure references in the index would have been helpful. That small quibble aside, this is a book that should be acquired by most libraries that offer representative art collections.‘
