Why wasn't Emily Carr in the group of seven?

Answer 1

Emily Carr was not part of the Group of Seven primarily due to her focus on the art and landscapes of British Columbia, which differed from the group's emphasis on Eastern Canadian landscapes. Although she was contemporaneous with the Group of Seven and shared similar interests in capturing the natural world, her distinctive style and thematic focus on Indigenous culture and spirituality set her apart. Additionally, she was more of an independent artist, often exploring her own path rather than aligning with the collective efforts of the Group.
