Lawren Harris, Isolation Peak, 1929

[lawrenharrispaintings]

These paintings by Lawren Harris are a hybrid of real and invented elements, the result of the artist's intense reimagining of actual landscapes in the Canadian Rockies. He developed and refined this scene through a series of drawings and small panel paintings, (the top painting is an example of his exploration and refinement) creating a highly idealized dreamscape in which the peak of a distant mountain becomes a perfectly balanced triangle pointing skyward, a bridge to "heaven." | Lawren Harris, "Isolation Peak, Rocky Mountains," 1930.
