The artwork titled “Baffin Island” was created by Lawren Harris in 1931 and belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. It is a landscape genre painting.
In the artwork, majestic, towering mountains covered in snow dominate the scene under a bright, clear sky that transitions through various shades of blue. The mountains, with their sharp, angular peaks and shading, present a sense of depth and grandeur. At the base of these mountains, rolling hills and rock formations emerge from an icy landscape. In front, stretches of frozen water, layered with patches of snow, add to the serene and pristine ambiance of the composition. The interplay of light and shadow gives the landscape an almost ethereal quality, emphasizing the stark yet beautiful environment depicted in this masterpiece by Lawren Harris.
