Presented for the first time in this beautiful, genre-crossing collection is Lawren Harris's original book of poems and 16 color images of the artist's early urban painting. In 1922, while the Group of Seven was emerging as a national phenomenon, Harris published his only book of poems- Contrasts -the first modernist exploration of Canadian urban space in verse. He also wandered the streets of Toronto, sketching and creating a powerful set of city paintings.
