As an art historian who has visited the majority of European museums, I (foolishly) believed I was quite familiar with Western art. So, imagine my surprise when I stepped into the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). The works of Canadian artists, particularly the Group of Seven, struck me with the explosion of raw, northern power and a fierce struggle for a unique national identity. It made me realise there is still so much to discover for me within the art world. Here is my guide to the work of Canadian artists at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
