Title |
Setting the Stage: The Emergence of the Beaver Hall Group
|
Abstract |
The short-lived, mostly middle-class Anglophone assemblage of some twenty painters known as the Beaver Hall Group arrived on the Montreal scene in late May 1920 and held its first exhibition in January 1921. The group disbanded in 1923, but its members maintained friendships, professional relationships and shared exhibitions for decades. The author outlines the city's art milieu in the years preceding the formation of the Beaver Hall Group, beginning first with a discussion of the iconic place, Beaver Hall Hill, from which the group took its name, then describing two prominent males-only Montreal associations, the Pen and Pencil Club and the Arts Club, and finally outlining other avenues for sales available for both female and male artists in Montreal.
