“LSH 21” is an abstract artwork created by the artist Lawren Harris in 1942. Associated with the Abstract Art movement, this piece exemplifies the genre through its non-representational forms and vivid color scheme.
The artwork exhibits a complex interplay of geometric shapes and curvilinear forms. At its center, a bold, red shape reminiscent of a heart seems to emanate outwards, intersecting and overlapping with other forms. Surrounding the central figure are diverse shapes and shades of blue and green, giving depth and dimension to the composition. The artwork is framed by a structure that appears almost architectural, with vertical and diagonal lines suggesting both confinement and expansion. The overall effect is a dynamic visual experience that prompts contemplation and introspection.
