In Atwood’s “Death by Landscape,” Lois surrounds herself with landscape paintings because she finds something in them that “fills her with a wordless unease” (para. 5). Your job in this discussion is to help us see some of these landscapes and consider what Lois finds in them. 

Find a landscape painting by one of the artists in the story and post it here. Select a painting you think would have been owned by Lois. Save the image on your computer and use the “Embed Image” button (mountain icon above) to embed the image in your post.

Explain why you chose the painting. What about it would have captivated/haunted Lois? From a psychoanalytic perspective, what purpose do the paintings serve?
