“Woods, Algoma” is a landscape artwork created by Lawren Harris in 1918, during the Post-Impressionism movement. The artwork presents an evocative depiction of a forest scene, characterized by Harris’s distinctive use of bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes. The dense foliage is rendered in an array of deep greens and warm autumnal hues, with sporadic bursts of bright reds and yellows. The tall, imposing pine trees stand out against a subtly hued sky, evoking a sense of grandeur and the sublime beauty of the natural landscape. Through this piece, Harris captures the untouched, raw essence of the Canadian wilderness in a manner that harmoniously bridges realism and stylistic abstraction.
