The Idea of North: The Paintings of Lawren Harris

The MFA (The Museum of Fine Arts) Boston is currently showing an interesting exhibition called "The Idea of North: The Paintings of Lawren Harris."  I had never heard of Lawren Harris before the exhibit, but I gather that's because I'm an ignoramus.  I really liked his monumental, corpulent landscapes.  Take a peek and see what you think:

His paintings were exhibited next to a selection of work by artists who were his contemporaries.  It's always interesting to see artwork in the context of its time.  I really appreciate it when museums go out of their way to provide art education in their exhibits.
