- Abstract
- Lawren Harris sought greater and greater heights as his career progressed; from mountains to states of mind, he aimed to go higher. This iconic Canadian landscape painter took a seemingly unexpected turn toward abstract art in 1934 – the year in which he moved to the United States, where he remained until 1940. Higher States frames Harris in the larger North American context during his years in New Hampshire and New Mexico, and features an important presentation of his US counterparts, including Georgia O’Keeffe, Arthur Dove, and Marsden Hartley. Guest curators Dr. Roald Nasgaard and Gwendolyn Owens investigate the evolution of Harris’s painting from landscape to abstraction and demonstrate his integral role in cross-border artistic developments.

- Abstract
- Pertains to the ways in which race, gender, colonization and social expectations influenced art produced by women. The location of analysis is specific to Canada, and thus pertains to the Rocky Mountains in the sense that many artists resided in and around the area where the external pressures would have likely been present. The book provides a thorough analysis into the history and philosophy surrounding women’s art, and the external factors that shaped its evolution in Canada.
