About this work

“Algoma Country”, first printed by Sampson-Matthews in 1947, offers an iconic fall season representation of the trips Harris organised for the members of the Group of Seven to this highly symbolic region. It reveals an artist at the peak of his power and marks the artist’s growing interest in abstracted form as a tool for interpreting the Canadian landscape.
