LAWREN STEWART HARRIS
  • LAWREN STEWART HARRIS
Provenance:

Acquired from the artist’s family
By descent to the present owner, Toronto

Literature:

Paul Duval, Lawren Harris: Where the Universe Sings, Cerebus Publishing, Canada, 2011, page 196 for a comparable Algoma work circa 1920 and page 215 for a comparable Superior work, circa 1923, both reproduced in colour.

Note:

This lot is neither titled nor dated leaving some room for speculation about its subject and location of execution. Compositionally and stylistically it bears much in common with the later Algoma works or early Superior sketches dating it likely to circa 1920-1923.
