372 Words2 Pages
Lawrence Stewart Harris was born in Brantford, Ontario in 1885. Coming from a wealthy family he was able to devote himself entirely to his art. Harris was the leader in the creation of the Group of Seven and the founding member and first president of the Canadian Group of Painters. He also influenced many Toronto painters to paint abstractly including painter Jock Macdonald. In 1948 Harris was recognized and given an exhibition at the Toronto Art Gallery – this was also the first time a living artist was honoured by the Gallery. Harris settled in Vancouver (1940), where he continued to paint and involved himself with arts organizations, which played an important role until his death.
