Slow Art Sunday - Harris

‘Tis the season to find some cool water to lay in and so today Slow Art Sunday brings you “Afternoon Sun, Lake Superior” by Lawren Harris. 

Harris was not only one of the founding members of Canada’s Group of Seven painters but the main initiator.  Being from a wealthy family he generously contributed to many of the group’s start up needs as well as funding painting trips and studio space. 

He painted with his own unique voice with bold colours, simplified shapes and a style somewhere between abstract and representational.

Take a few moments on a warm July day to enjoy the colours and coolness of this largest freshwater lake in North America.
