One thing I liked about The Idea of North was the inclusion, mostly towards the end, of works which inspired Harris or which were inspired by Harris. His aesthetic lives on.

Rockwell Kent's Icebergs, Greenland, also painted in the 1930s, looks at the same Arctic territory Harris explored.

A triptych of works by Nina Bunjevac, The Observer, reflected nicely Harris' earlier urbanism. Sunny Days, below, looks at City Hall.

This still from Jennifer Baichwal and Nick De Pencier's Ice Forms takes a look at Harris' Arctic as the landscape enters a melt.
