The original members were the Canadian artists: Franklin Carmichael (1890–1945)    Lawren Harris (1885–1970)  Dr. A. Y. Jackson (1882–1974) 

  Frank Johnston (1888–1949)    Arthur Lismer (1885–1969)  J. E. H. MacDonald (1873–1932)  and  Frederick Varley (1881–1969)

             
             
 

 

 Later members included, A. J. Casson (1898–1992) who joined in 1926; Edwin Holgate (1892–1977) in 1930 and LeMoine FitzGerald (1890–1956) in 1932. There were other artists associated with the Group of Seven including; Tom Thomson (1877–1917) and Emily Carr (1871–1945). But Thomson died before the name Group of Seven originated. Yet he clearly was the most formidable name on the lips of most Canadians when discussing the group.

 

 

 

 

Investigating the legitimacy of paintings of the Canadian Group of Seven

Groupe Canadien des sept - Experts dans l'authentification de l'art

 

 

   Four and a half decades have now passed during which we have been professionally directing both academic and forensic investigations into the authenticity of the Dominion of Canada's art, particularly paintings claiming to be by her most famous artists, the Group of Seven.

 Though Canada's history is brief, some of her most famous artists formed this group of important and influential Canadian landscape painters who shaped Canadian art history, working in the main in Ontario from about 1920 to 1933.

We can assist and advise you with works you believe are by members of the group of seven and any other Canadian artists work.

 

(Please see our separate section here)

 

 

 

 

   Principally, our function as an international fine art consultancy advising clients on fine art, has been specialising in art authentication and attribution investigation. The duration and direction of which any authenticity investigation or an attribution of a work of art will inevitably vary from project to project. But there are clear and very well defined professional formalities, responsibilities and areas of scrutiny that we can formally assist you with, including:

 

  • Authentication: Authentification:   Conducting comprehensive investigations and in depth research into a work of art with a view to establishing a correct, complete and formally recognized certification. One absolutely upheld by the appropriate, legally acknowledged and internationally sanctioned authority, body or expert on that given artist. Directing detailed and complicated inquiries, with multilingual capability, including any international academic research and forensic applications that are required.

 

  •  Attribution: Identifying and confirming the identity of a previously anonymous artist, studio or workshop from which a work of art most likely originated. Including the re-examination and investigation of a previous attribution which may be incorrect, or the scrutiny of an attribution that has been formally questioned or is currently doubted.

 

 

  •  Confirmation:  Undertaking research and investigations into the legitimacy of the provenance, history and prior ownership of a work of art and establishing its accuracy and legitimacy.

 

  •  Scrutiny: Examen minutieux:Identifying fake or faux works of art and forgeries, including any false supportive accompanying documentation and determining works of art which may be studio or later copies, or previously given incorrect attributions.

 

  •  Prosecution: Poursuite: Investigating alleged art fraud and forgery and assisting and advising those who are currently , or may be considering litigating or prosecuting the fact. This includes colleagues who are legal professionals and individual private clients.

 

  •  Attention: Conducting all fine art related due diligence and duty of care inquiries. Including safe prepurchase or sale related audits and assisting clients in consolidating a well balanced future family distribution.

 

 

  •  Appraisal: Évaluation - Valuations and condition reports.

Step one in the Art Authentication and Attribution process.

The Pre-Authentication Assessment

 

    Before you begin any authenticity, legitimacy, or artist attribution investigation, it is wise to have an impartial preliminary assessment of the viability of the project conducted first. One made to independently and rationally balance any negative issues there may be against the positive. You should treat this study as a safety net.

We will be happy to professionally undertake this for you, based upon good quality images that you supply and all the known facts regarding its acquisition, the history and provenance of the work of art as is known to you. You will then have a far better understanding of the prospects and indeed the possible pitfalls that could lie ahead.
