With contributions by Rebecca Herlemann, Ruth Phillips, Carmen Robertson, Jeff Thomas, Georgiana Uhlaryik, Reneée van der Avoird, Martina Weinhart and Interviews with Lisa Jackson and Caroline Monnet

In the early 20th century, artists such as Emily Carr, Tom Thomson, and members of what would become the Group of Seven, transformed Post-Impressionism techniques into exciting new ways of interpreting the Canadian landscape.

Challenging existing traditions, they left major cities such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver and ventured deep into the Canadian wilderness. Often remaining in the bush for weeks on end, they reimagined the natural world using bold colours, stylized forms, and dynamic brushwork, producing vibrant modernist works that would define Canada and Canadian art for decades to come.

Premiering at Frankfurt’s Schirn Kunsthalle, Magnetic North features 87 works of art, including 23 works from the National Gallery of Canada. The exhibition also comprises five films, including two by contemporary Indigenous artists: How a People Live, a documentary by filmmaker Lisa Jackson and Mobilize, a short film by artist Caroline Monnet.

Magnetic North was organized by the SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the National Gallery of Canada, with the generous support of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

The National Gallery of Canada is honoured to be showcasing the A.K. Prakash Collection of works by major Canadian artist James Wilson Morrice. This significant collection of oil paintings and watercolours by one of Canada’s foremost modernist painters is part of the Masterpiece in Focus series. Assembled with sensitivity to the evolution of the artist, the real strength of the collection lies in its variety, artistic quality and depth, highlighting key moments in Morrice’s career. The essays in this beautifully illustrated catalogue, as well as an in-depth interview with A.K. Prakash, position the pioneering artist in his proper and deserved context – as an artist of Canadian descent who lived and worked in Europe, who travelled extensively, and who was associated with the leading modern artists and movements of the period.
