Algoma Hill 1920

"Algoma Hill" (1920) by Lawren Harris is a striking example of Canadian landscape painting. This work showcases Harris’ distinctive style, characterized by bold colours and geometric forms, reminiscent of the Group of Seven. The stark black silhouettes of trees against a luminous sky, and the purple-tinged mountainside, create a powerful and evocative scene. The painting captures the raw beauty of the Canadian wilderness, with its stark contrasts and dramatic landscapes. The bright red foliage adds a touch of warmth and vibrancy to the otherwise muted palette, enhancing the sense of depth and texture.
