BIBLIOGRAPHIE
Lois Darroch, Bright Land, A Warm Look at Arthur Lismer, 1981, page 15


The Group of Seven members each had painting places that had a particular resonance for them, and for Arthur Lismer it was Georgian Bay. Lismer’s first sight of it was a revelation to him, and he wrote, “Georgian Bay!...thousands of islands, little and big, some of them mere rocks just breaking the surface of the Bay - others with great, high rocks tumbled in confused masses and crowned with leaning pines, turned away in ragged disarray from the west wind...Georgian Bay - the happy isles, all different, but bound together in a common unity of form, colour and design. It is a paradise for painters.” In 1948, Lismer was based at Manitou Dock, one of his favourite locations. This vital work is full of the tumult of the elements, with Lismer depicting the surf lashing the edges of the rocky outcrops. Heavy clouds loom over the horizon, but the light is strong, and the expanse of pale blue water lights up the painting. Georgian Bay Near Manitou Dock is alive with ephemeral weather, and Lismer makes us feel the very touch of the wind.
