Anne Savage's
generation of Canadians felt a new sense of nationalism and
pride in their country. Savage identified closely with developments
in painting and became an early exponent of the Group of Seven.
She also had close ties with many of the country's most important
artists such as Frances Loring, Florence Wyle, Emily Carr and
A.Y. Jackson. During her lifetime she participated in the Beaver
Hall Group and the Canadian Group of Painters, movements that
defined Canadian art during this period. Friendships, travel,
sketching trips and exchanges with the men and women who shaped
Canadian art were part of Anne Savage's artistic milieu.
