Franz Johnston painted “Waterfall, Algoma” in the autumn of 1920, following a sketching trip with Lawren Harris and J.E.H. MacDonald.

He wrote about his experience: ”It was very wonderful down there sketching by the gorgeous falls pounding down… they seemed to fascinate you and the great roar of the water withal being a bright sunny day it made the place like an enchanted land…”

Sold in our May 2016 Canadian Fine Art auction, “Waterfall, Algoma” remains one of our favourites.
