Winter comes from the Arctic to the Temperate Zone 1935

Lawren Harris made this artwork, Winter comes from the Arctic to the Temperate Zone, with oil on canvas. I can imagine him standing in front of the canvas, contemplating the vastness of the Arctic landscape. The painting is characterized by its cool color palette and geometric forms. Look at the way he captures the stark beauty and the harshness of the northern environment, with the blues and whites of the ice and snow dominating the scene. The paint application seems smooth, almost polished. It gives the piece a serene, timeless quality. The triangular shapes give the landscape a sense of structure and order. It’s like Harris is searching for some kind of cosmic harmony. He uses the physicality of the paint to create an immersive experience for the viewer. Ultimately, painting is about pushing boundaries and daring to see the world in new ways. We are all connected through art.
