Abstract
In his introductory essay for The Mystic North, an exhibition held at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto in 1984, Roald Nasgaard describes the Symbolist painter's expressive aim:
true Symbolists do not so much search out new themes and subjects as invest given ones with subjective and transcendental meaning… . [They] achieve seamless continuity between external forms and states of inner feeling, freely transforming their subjects and reorganizing their forms and colours in the belief that meaning and form are inseparable.
