A.Y. Jackson’s first experience of Lake Superior was in fall of 1921 with Lawren Harris, after a trip to Algoma with fellow Group of Seven members. Harris responded to the open expanses across the lake, but for Jackson, the rugged hills above the shore, exposed by forest fires, were of greater interest. Jackson returned with Harris to Lake Superior in 1922, 1923 and 1924, each time in autumn. Always attracted to the inherent rhythm in the landscape, Jackson found it here in the powerful and ancient rock formations of the Canadian Shield, which originated in the Precambrian era. Shades of blue, mauve and purple accent the earth tones in the rocks, and a blaze of autumn colour runs through the ground cover at their base and in their crevices. Expressing both the strength of the monumental rock formations and the beauty of autumn, North of Lake Superior is a classic Group period Jackson painting.
The address in the inscription on verso is that of the famous Studio Building, the base of Group members in Toronto.
