Its members sought new ways of representing Canada's forests, lakes, northern landscapes and changing seasons. Their paintings are often recognised for bold colour, rhythmic forms and an interest in the country's varied geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe group grew out of friendships among artists working in commercial design and painting, particularly at the Toronto firm Grip Limited.
