History
The Group of Seven lasted around 11 years until 1932 when J. E. H. MacDonald died and the group disbanded. In their wake rose a new group of artists called the Canadian Group of Painters. Several of the Group of Seven painters were included in the new group including Lawren Harris, A. J. Casson, Arthur Lismer, A. Y. Jackson, and Franklin Carmichael. Their first exhibition of "nationalist art" was held in Atlantic City, in the US, in November 1933. As active painters and as a group they continued to produce and influence Canadian art.
The Eastern Group of Painters was formed in Montreal, Quebec in 1938 to counteract the influence of the Canadian Group of Painters.
