Aftermath of Storm - Lake Superior Sketch XXXIV 1926

"Aftermath of Storm - Lake Superior Sketch XXXIV," painted in 1926 by Canadian artist Lawren Harris, is a striking example of the artist's distinct style. Known for his iconic landscapes, Harris often depicted the vast wilderness of Canada, simplifying forms and emphasizing geometric shapes. The painting features a dramatic sky, with dramatic clouds against a deep blue background. In the foreground, a dark hillside, rendered in shades of purple and brown, adds a grounding element. This work exemplifies Harris's minimalist approach to landscape painting, highlighting the raw beauty of nature through simplified forms and vibrant colors.
