Lawren Harris went farther than his fellow members of the Group in simplifying the forms of nature into sculptural shapes and organizing an entire scene into a single, unified conception. From the North Shore, Lake Superior came as a result of an important trip that Harris made to the lakehead in 1919. The clouds float like white orchids in a brilliant sky. One can almost read the painting as a religious work, hinting at the abstract paintings that Harris would later paint.
