Jackson, Franz Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J. E. H. MacDonald, and Frederick Varley, over a dozen years in Canadian history. Working in an eclectic and sometimes controversial blend of modernist styles, they produced what an English critic celebrated in the 1920s as the ?most vital group of paintingsOCO of the 20th century. Inspired by C(r)zanne, Van Gogh and other modernist artists, they tried to interpret the Ontario landscape in light of the strategies of the international avant-garde. Based after 1914 in the purpose-built Studio Building for Canadian Art, the young artists embarked on what Lawren Harris called ?an all-engrossing travelling north into the anadian Shield and forging a style of painting appropriate to what they regarded as the unique features of CanadaOCOs northern landscape.
