Painted in Peel: The Peel Landscape by the Group of Seven & Their Contemporaries
Joan Murray, Christine Boyanoski & Judy Daley

Peel County is north west of Toronto and encompasses part of modern day suburban Mississauga. But for painters of the 1920s and 30s its unspoiled rolling hills were the ideal subject matter for some the era's most noted landscapes. Three essays discuss the times and the works of Franklin Carmichael, David Milne and others.

The Birth of the Modern: Post-Impressionism in Canada 1900-1920
Joan Murray

Through an fascinating mix of historical documentation, critical reviews and personal correspondence, Murray tracks the tumultuous emergence of this "New Art" , the Canadian artists who championed it and the critics who fought it at every turn. John Lyman, David B.Milne, Lawren Harris, Tom Thomson and Emily Carr lept at the chance to escape outworn convention but the art they produced was slightly out-of-place in the evolution of world Post-Impressionism. Theirs was an interpretation marked by lyrical intensity and by an attachment to Canada's savage physical environment. Through a potent and unique combination of foreign influence and local naturalism, they invented not only a new art form but a vision of Canada that remains with us today. Nineteen artists' biographies, personal correspondence from John Lyman, Emily Carr and Anne Savage, an extensive bibliography and 40 colour plates complete this important contribution to the understanding of Canadian culture. The cover illustration is of a newly discovered Emily Carr. Joan Murray is the author of numerous publications on Canadian art, specifically on the Group of Seven and Tom Thomson.
