About the piece
Painted in 1919 by Arthur Lismer, a founding member of Canada’s Group of Seven, this dynamic work captures the RMS Olympic docked at Halifax. The ship is covered in 'dazzle' camouflage—a series of bold, geometric patterns designed to confuse enemy submarines—creating a powerful visual contrast against the icy harbor and the expectant crowds of soldiers and civilians.
