| has gloss | eng: The Eastern Group of Painters was a Canadian artists collective founded in 1938 in Montréal, Québec. The group included Montréal artists whose common interest was painting and an art for arts sake aesthetic, not the espousal of a nationalist theory as was the case with the Group of Seven or the Canadian Group of Painters. The group’s members included Alexander Bercovitch, Goodridge Roberts, Eric Goldberg, Jack Weldon Humphrey, John Goodwin Lyman, and Jori Smith. Goldberg and Lyman were both well represented by Max Sterns Dominion Gallery in Montréal. |
