rfmcdonaldYesterday, as I mentioned earlier this afternoon, I went to the Art Gallery of Ontario on the final day the Steve Martin-curated exhibition The Idea of North was open to see that exhibition of the works of Lawren Harris. I really enjoyed seeing all of these iconic works, but I found myself relating particularly to his earlier works, depicting scenes in The Ward of Toronto, a now-defunct neighbourhood south of Queen's Park famed for its density and poverty. Is it because my photos often aspire to a similar take?

From Top of the Hill, Spadina Ave
From The Corner Store
From Street Scene, Toronto

From North Shore, Lake Superior
From Arctic Sketch XXII
From Pic Island
From Lake Superior
This work, Poise (Composition 4), is futuristic. Commentary suggested that this evokes Toronto's new City Hall.
