Lawren Harris


2 Large Henry Moore Sculptures 
at the corner of McCaul and Dundas Streets.


At present the AGO features a marvelous collection of works by
Lawren Harris,
a prominent member of the "Group of Seven"


Although the title of this exhibition is "The Idea of North"
there are many of this artist's work from his earlier period,
dealing with the City of Toronto, in which he grew up.

This part is shown under the heading :
"In The Ward."

In a part of the City that is ever shrouded in sooty smoke
 hides a gloomy house of broken grey rough-cast, 
like a sickly sin in a callow soul.

Lawren Harris, "A Note of colour"
