Origins and History
The emergence of the Group of Seven in the 1920s laid the foundation for Canadian art, emphasizing the country’s rugged natural landscape. In the 1960s, a new movement, conceptual art, emerged, which emphasized the idea behind the artwork rather than its visual representation. This movement had a significant impact on Canadian art, and artists such as Michael Snow and Ian Wallace became prominent figures. In the 1980s, the art world saw the emergence of the "Pictures Generation," which focused on the influence of the media and pop culture.
