To start today, here we have Georgian Bay, a 1913 painting by Arthur Lismer of the Group of Seven.
Another Lismer work: The Big Rock, Bon Echo dates to 1922.
Lawren Harris was another member of the Group. Here we have his Lake Superior, which is from 1928.
Two more works by Harris. North Shore, Lake Superior is from 1926. As is High Country, Lake Superior.
An artist following in the footsteps of Harris a few years after Harris first started visiting the area. Yvonne McKague Housser painted Rossport, Lake Superior in 1929.
And for today we leave off with this. Edwin Holgate, another member of the Group, painted Early Autumn in 1938.
Lake Superior is my fav. Well, and Early Autumn, despite I "hate Autumn"...
ReplyDeleteI like the landscape paintings.
ReplyDeleteGeweldig mooi William je bloemenzee wat een pracht maar de schilderijen mogen er ook zijn.
ReplyDeleteI can't really make a choice today.
ReplyDeleteThe Big Rock reminds me of Bon Echo Provincial Park.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI like the Big Rock, beautiful paintings. Take care, enjoy your day!
I love the Big Rock, too. I was surprised at the last one -- it seems we rarely see people in the Group's paintings -- or at least the ones I've seen.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful paintings William, the first two especially ✨
