Magnetic North. Imagining Canada in Painting 1910–1940

11 March – 29 August 2021
Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt

Canadian modernist painting from a contemporary perspective. Featuring some 80 paint­ings and 40 sketches, as well as photographs, films, and docu­men­tary mate­rial, this compre­hen­sive exhi­bi­tion will examine and crit­i­cally review the works by artists around the The Group of Seven, which are extremely popular in Canada. As a counter-narra­tive, that has equal reso­nance in Canada, the show will include Indige­nous perspec­tives and address issues surrounding the forma­tion of national iden­ti­ties.

An exhi­bi­tion orga­nized by SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANK­FURT, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the National Gallery of Canada
