Lawren Harris

I am so excited that a show of 

work by Lawren Harris 

is opening at the Museum of Fine Arts 

on Saturday. 

Mountains in the Snow 

c.1929

Harris was a member of the Group of Seven,

a group of artists whose paintings, inspired by the Canadian landscape, 

initiated the first major Canadian national art movement

from 1920 - 1933.

In Oct 2014, I blogged about this fabulous book 

and refer to it often, 

especially for inspiration when painting landscapes. 

The color reproductions are stunning. 

"Silcox [is] a wonderfully lucid stylist . . . this definitive volume presents 400 supreme color reproductions . . . covering the entire spectrum of the proficient and prolific group's magnificent output . . . every painting is vibrantly, radiantly, and gloriously alive: a veritable hymn to life."
