Defiant Spirits: The Modernist Revolution of the Group of Seven (Inscribed) - King, Ross

INSCRIBED BY ROSS KING on half-title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; name on ffep; light wear to upper edge of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; In this book, King has written a group biography probing the European roots of their style, chronicling the drama and the enthusiasms of their encounters with the Canadian wild, usually in very rough conditions, and revealing the social milieu of early 20th century Toronto. Superbly researched, compellingly told and keenly astute in its portrait of the artists, their art and their well-earned place in the Canadian pantheon, this book reinvigorates a sense of the period when out national mythology was being forged.
