HARRIS, Lawren

Regular price $100.00 CAD Sale

In this essay, Harris explains the philosophical and personal motivations behind his shift from the iconic, stylized landscapes of the Canadian North to pure abstraction. Profoundly influenced by Theosophy, Harris believed that abstract forms, rather than representational images, provided "a rewarding life in art."
