Title
Remembering the Beaver Hall Group -- Canada's Unsung Modernists
Abstract
A description of the 2016 exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts titled "1920s Modernism in Montreal: The Beaver Hall Group." Some 92,000 visitors saw the exhibition over the course of its three-month showing in Montreal. The Beaver Hall Group, formed in 1920 and disbanded in 1923, was a consortium of members and associates that included such Canadian art icons as A.Y. Jackson (the Group’s first president), Mabel May, Lilias Torrance Newton, Randolph Hewton, Edwin Holgate, Mabel Lockerby, Anne Savage, Emily Coonan, Adrien Hébert, Henri Hébert, and Prudence Heward. Half of the members of the Beaver Hall Group were women, and all but two were Anglophones.
