Lawren Stewart Harris, CC (October 23, 1885 – January
29, 1970) was a Canadian painter.
He was born in Brantford, Ontario, and is best known as
a member of the Group of Seven who pioneered a
distinctly Canadian painting style in the early
twentieth century. A. Y. Jackson has been quoted as
saying that Harris provided the stimulus for the Group
of Seven.
During
the 1920s, Harris' works became more abstract and
simplified, especially his stark landscapes of the
Canadian north and Arctic. He also stopped signing and
dating his works so that people would judge his works on
their own merit and not by the artist or when they were
painted. In 1969, he was made a Companion of the Order
of Canada.
