Lighthouse, Father Point 1930 --- Lawren S. Harris (1885-1970)
Visiting Atlantic Canada in 1929 with A.Y. Jackson, Harris travelled to Father Point near Rimouski, Quebec, along the bans of the St. Lawrence River. Lit from behind and from within, the idealized and precisely delineated structure becomes an embodiment of transcendence. This was one of Harris’ last completed works that drew from the landscape before he broke into pure abstraction in the late 1930s.
