Book Description
Taking their name from the downtown street in Montreal where members shared a studio in the early 1920s, The Beaver Hall Group were early adopters of new modernistic approaches to painting and explored their potential within a variety of genres, including portrait, still life, landscape and prescient scenes of urbanity. As well as providing an artistic window into the modern lives of Canadians during this transformational period of history, as a collective The Beaver Hall Group are exceptional for their inclusion of female artists as core members. Initially comprising of both genders, the group would become an all-female collective that includes some of Canada's most celebrated modern painters. Through a series of comprehensive contextual essays The Beaver Hall Group: 1920s Modernism in Montreal interweaves the work of this pioneering artistic collective within a broader narrative of the arts in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring the groups' greater role in the modernity of Canada--and more specifically the cultural context of Montreal--the book takes on core themes such as the rise of the metropolis, juxtapositions between economic progress and cultural development, and the impact of gender on critical approaches to both artists and their work. The Beaver Hall Group: 1920s Modernism in Montreal sits alongside a major exhibition and is published in partnership with the Montreal Museum of Fine Art.

Book Description
In the 1930s, the exciting urban environment of Montreal provided the perfect venue for a varied group of people who came together to form a kind of "salon" in the turmoil of the Great Depression. For ten years, these friends and acquaintances met each week at the home of the artist John Lyman. They saw themselves as "modern," a part of the avant-garde that was then busily changing the world. These Canadian modernists supported left-wing causes, advocated a more stable social order, and heralded a more inclusive culture. More than anything, they searched for a way in which their lives would have meaning. In The Last Ulysseans, Molly Pulver Ungar describes this dynamic group's private and public activities of the group from the beginning of the Great Depression through the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War to the final years of the 1930s. In face of the ominous certainty of another war in Europe, these individuals reached a new understanding of what it meant to live a modern, meaningful life. Their conscious pursuit of new directions in outlook, attitude, and lifestyle influenced many of the changes in post-war North American society.

Book Description
The Montreal art milieu of 1920 was conservative in nature and the Beaver Hall Group was formed, in part, in response to that local art scene. Essentially an exhibiting society, its members sought freedom of expression. The formation of the Group also coincided with a period in Canadian history when Canada was casting off its colonial ties to England. Consequently, a nationalist cultural agenda developed among members of the English-Canadian intelligentsia. One of the goals of this network was to strike a national note in Canadian art, an aspiration championed by the Toronto-based Group of Seven. Through the intermediary of Group of Seven member A.Y. Jackson, the Beaver Hall Group was affiliated with this movement. The Montreal Group, however, was short-lived (circa 1920-1922) and virtually disappeared from Canadian art historical texts until the late 1950s when it began to be presented as having consisted primarily of women artists. Research reveals, however, that while there was a large contingency of female members, history has largely ignored the male members who comprised the majority of the Group. In this thesis, the 1920 Montreal art scene is depicted and the Beaver Hall Group is placed within both local and national cultural contexts. Also, the issue of the Group's membership is discussed and a revised roster of members is proposed.
