LAWREN STEWART HARRIS, CC
LAWREN STEWART HARRIS, CC (1885-1970) CANADIANLawren Stewart Harris, C.C., "On an Algoma Lake", oil on board, circa 1918 - 1920, signed lower right, and on verso signed, titled and inscribed in graphite with the Doris Mills Inventory #2 / 115 (crossed out). 10 1/2 x 13 3/4 inches. PROVENANCE: The Fine Art Galleries, T. Eaton Co. Ltd., Toronto. Private Collection, Ontario. Sale of Heffel Fine Art Auction House, May 15, 2013, Lot 176. Hazelton Fine Art Galleries, Toronto. Private Collection. EXHIBITION HISTORY: Oeno Gallery, Bloomfield, Ontario. Collector’s Choice Exhibition, October 7 – 30, 2016. LITERATURE: Doris Mills, L.S. Harris Inventory, 1936, listed as Group 2 (2/115), Algoma Sketches, location noted as the Studio Building. ESSAY: "On an Algoma Lake" is a fine example of Harris’s ability to play the two elements of water and shoreline against each other. The smooth, flat rock divides the lake from the dense forest which recedes into the background. Harris’s classic dabs of horizontal paint (in this case light grey against the reflected browns and greens of the forest) capture to perfection the effect of a light breeze on the water surface. Meanwhile, a single yellow tree signals the end of summer and the turn of the season.
