Lawren Harris Paintings

Lawren Harris (1885 – 1970) was a Canadian painter who was one of the original founders of the Group of Seven, which was a group of painters who sought to develop a distinctly Canadian style of painting. The beginning of Harris’ career is characterized by colorful, natural landscapes, however his style of painting would undergo many transformations throughout his life. During the late 1920s he focused almost exclusively on mountains and his work became significantly less colorful and more geometric in its form. Finally, in 1935, he abandoned landscape painting altogether and embraced abstract art. Harris’ work is very unique and important to Canadian art history.
