Georgian Bay was an iconic painting place for Arthur Lismer, one he returned to often after he first saw it in 1913. It was a landscape of windswept pines, distinctive islets, powerful rock formations and radiant atmosphere, and Lismer loved its rugged beauty. In 1943 he stayed at Copperhead, on a small island north of his usual haunt of Manitou Dock. It was at Georgian Bay that he developed his distinctive gestural, textured brush-stroke and a more sculptural approach to form. He also began to paint close-up views of life at ground level, and here depicts a striking beachscape where large slabs and shelves of rocks are contrasted with smaller rocks and driftwood thrown up on shore. On the horizon, the turbulent waters of Georgian Bay churn and froth, their deep blue highlighted with rich emerald green. Rocks, driftwood and their shadows are highlighted with a vibrant range of colour, from blue, green and purple to warm orange and ochre. In Shoreline, Georgian Bay, Lismer has captured the bold and vital nature of this unique and compelling place.
