ABC Wednesday is a fun meme that focuses on a different letter of the alphabet each week. So many play yet so few post similar choices - which is really amazing.
Continuing with the art theme, H is for 3 very different artists from three very different eras.
One of my favourite artists is Lawren Harris, a Canadian.
Lawren Harris was a member of the Group of Seven. His paintings became more abstract with time, but still focused on the north.
Hans Holbein the Younger was a early 16th century German painter and printmaker.

Love learning so much from ABC Wednesday. Thanks for sharing the H artists with us. I really like Homer's Lake picture. Wonderful perspective.

Yours is a great post to visit -- love it! And with Leslie I thank you for including Harris from the Group of Seven. They "transformed" the country north of Lake Superior in marvelous ways. Love that north country and their art.

I knew about "Holbein" but have been ignorant of Harris' work. Lovely! Thank you for a lovely "H" post and turning me onto a new artist :)
ReplyDeleteI like your choices! It would appear some very talented artists had names that begin with H.
ReplyDeleteI like the Lawren Harris paintings you've shown - very stylistic with a beautiful use of colour. It's good to learn something new - thank you :-)
