The Group of Seven was found in 1920 as an organization of self-proclaimed Canadian modern artists. The Group were not exclusively landscape Canadian painters, and it was only after their first exhibition at the Art Gallery of Toronto in 1920 that they began to identify themselves as a landscape school. They were initially drawn together by a sense of a frustration with the conservative and imitative quality of most Canadian art and presented themselves as Canada's national school of painters. The Group was disbanded in 1933. 1, record 1, English, - Group%20of%20Seven

Fondé en 1920, le groupe des Sept regroupe des artistes canadiens se définissant comme des peintres modernes. À l'origine, le groupe des Sept ne se compose pas exclusivement de paysagistes. Ce n'est qu'après la première exposition à l'Art Gallery of Toronto, en 1920 qu'il commence à s'identifier à une école paysagiste. Le sentiment commun de frustration envers l'art canadien en général pousse ses membres à se réunir et à définir le groupe comme l'école nationale de peinture au Canada. Le groupe se disperse en 1933. 2, record 1, French, - Groupe%20des%20sept

Malgré ce qu'écrit L'Encyclopédie du Canada, tome 2, page 864, c'est «Groupe des sept» qu'il faudrait lire. Selon le Guide du rédacteur, 1996, 3.3.22, «il convient de mettre la majuscule au premier mot du nom exact d'un mouvement artistique ou littéraire : le Groupe des sept, l'École littéraire de Montréal». 3, record 1, French, - Groupe%20des%20sept
