EXHIBITED
Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, "Canadian Jungle, The Later Work of Arthur Lismer," September 28 - November 24, 1985, catalogue #97


In Rough Water, Georgian Bay, Arthur Lismer depicts the elemental strength of his favourite painting place. Through the layering of strong, expressionist brush-strokes, Lismer builds a highly textural surface to describe the vitality of the churning bay. The fierce dynamism of the water’s surface is mirrored in clouds moving across a crisp blue sky – perhaps signalling the changing weather. Wind-swept trees on the rocky cliffs at the shore and on the distant island add to the impression of movement under the onslaught of the powerful wind.
