2026/08/14

I knew this would come about from my captivation with Lawren Harris. It started when I discovered his massive paintings as a child, going with my school to visit the bigger galleries in downtown Toronto, Canada. His paintings have an immensity to them. A grandeur, tremendousness that envelopes you. Brings you inward, inside. Almost as if he captures you inside a discussion he is having with himself and you on the style, the work, the vastness of our Canadian North that attracted him for his w...

Betty Goodwin's depictions of the human body, suffering, and the passage of time resonated with me when I discovered her at the Manitoba Gallery.
