BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Katherine Gibson, Ted Harrison: Painting Paradise, 2009, pages 126 and 211
The Yukon proved to be a source of inspiration for Ted Harrison in terms of subject matter and the development of the unique style for which he is renowned for. His thoughtful use of vibrant colour, shape and line was informed by the beautiful Northern Lights of the Yukon. Harrison revealed that, “by a process of retrogression and simplification I threw out all the academic bric-a-brac which had stratified my thoughts. From there, my personal view of the Yukon began to emerge, leading to greater freedom of line and colour.” In this work, Harrison portrays the small town of Carcross, just outside Whitehorse, where he and his wife Nicky and his son Charles lived. The building in the centre has been identified as the Caribou Hotel and the building on the left as Matthew Watson General Store.
The consignors of this work, who knew Harrison, purchased the painting in Toronto from the Shaw-Rimmington Gallery in the early 1970s.
