The Group of Seven Performers, also known as the Septet, is a collective of seven Canadian artists who were active in the early 20th century. The group was founded in 1920 and included painters such as Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, and Arthur Lismer. They were known for their depictions of the Canadian landscape and their influence on the development of Canadian art. The Group of Seven Performers has been credited with helping to define a distinctly Canadian style of painting.
