Anne Savage was influenced initially by the Group of Seven but later developed an independent style and made a significant impact on Canadian art and education. She was a member of the Beaver Hill Hall group and President of the Canadian Group of Painters (1949, 1960). Savage was one of the first women to participate actively in the creation of a Canadian school of painting, and an early exponent of child art and creative teaching. Trained as a painter, and a self taught teacher, her success as an educator and her development as a painter were concurrent. As an artist, she was part of the vital Canadian art movements of the 30's and 40's closely linked to the The Group of Seven and the Northern Symbolist landscape tradition. In her teaching, she was influenced by the writings of Belle Boas, Marion Richardson and Herbert Read, and was associated with Arthur Lismer. - Malaspina Biography
