Did you know?
During a 1916 trip to the Canadian Rockies, Sargent became fascinated by the dramatic scenery and light conditions of the region's wilderness. He captured the raw power of the Yoho Falls using his signature loose, expressive brushstrokes, which perfectly convey the chaotic, misty energy of the crashing water.
