From the early 1920s through 1933 the Canadian artist Lawren Harris produced a remarkable body of work that significantly informed an image of Canada that has remained deeply rooted in the country’s identity. His scenes of a cold and empty northland, isolated peaks, and expanses of dark water beyond barren shorelines remain for many Canadians and non-Canadians the essential images of the country. Harris’s vision was distinctly modern and idealized; his landscapes offered a bold “idea of north."

Lawren Harris: A defining voice in Canadian Art This large-scale gouache, Algoma Lake, was painted by Lawren Harris between 1945 and 1948. It is based on sketches from his early 1920s trips to the Algoma region - where the Group of Seven began to develop the style that would come to define the Canadian landscape. Harris, one of the most highly collected Canadian artists, captured the rugged beauty and spiritual resonance of the North. This work was later included in the Sampson-Matthews project
