In fall of 1922, A.Y. Jackson painted with Lawren Harris at Lake Superior, and in November at Georgian Bay, on Lake Huron. Due to the geography depicted in this sketch—mountains in the distance beyond a sliver of water—it is likely from Lake Superior. Also, in a quote about his camping and sketching trip to Lake Superior, he mentions the poplar turning yellow when he was sketching there. This is a classic Group composition featuring multiple layers of landscape – foreground rock formations, the clump of poplar trees with their interesting bark patterns, then beyond a screen of trees, a distant view of a slice of water and mountains. Jackson creates an interesting contrast between the poplars, which are still, and the background trees, which seem to bend back as if pushed by the wind. Not only are the poplars positioned centrally, their very stillness makes the viewer’s eye go straight to them. Jackson’s palette lights the panel with a blaze of autumn colours – radiant orange, vivid yellow and bright greenish gold. The moody sky of dark blue and orange provides a contrast that pushes the bright foreground forward. A celebration of the Canadian wilderness in its stunning fall colours, this Group of Seven period Jackson is a gem.
