2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Long OverdueBy WonishmomBeautifully written; great color plates of the art. The Beaver Hall group has been somewhat overlooked with the attention focused on the Group of Seven. This book is a treasure for art lovers and art students. Easy to read - each artist has her own chapter with a biography; interesting antecdotes and stories. Great book!0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. bummerBy FargoI love the Canadian artists associated with The Group of Seven. Unfortunately this book didnt fill my expectations. the plates are small and theres not that much work represented. I was dismayed and sent it back; hopefully someone will come out with another book of the female artists of that period.
