"Sets Harris within the fuller North American story, teasing out
further complexities. ... This move is all to the good; the
argument has now been irrefutably made regarding Harris’s
connection to the abstract trends of his time on both sides of the
border."
*Literary Review of Canada*
"An extraordinary, comprehensive, and beautifully illustrated
history of a major Canadian painter and unreservedly
recommended."
*Midwest Book Review*
"Higher States is about Harris, but it’s also about us: A selective
myth countered by a fuller version of perhaps our best-loved
artistic icon, whose complications are often left in the margins in
the service of promoting simplified patriotism."
*Toronto Star*
