Abstract Sketch Lawren S. Harris 193637.9 x 30.2 cmoil on beaverboard Purchased 1973 National Gallery of Canada (no. 17614) |
-on paintings by Lawren Harris...
I have never felt anything like the power of those canvases.
They seem to have called to me from some other
world, sort of an answer to a great longing.
As I came through the
mountains I longed so to cast off my earthly body
and float away through
the great pure spaces between the peaks,
up the quiet green ravines
into the high, pure, clean air.
Mr. Harris has painted those very
spaces,
and my spirit seems able to leave my body and roam among them.
They make me so happy.
- Emily Carr
