Lawren P. Harris was known for the highly precise style and disciplined
execution of his war art, portraits and abstractions. His earliest
influence was his father, Lawren S. Harris, a prominent member of the
Group of Seven. Lawren P. Harris studied at the Boston Museum of fine
Arts and at Central Technical School in Toronto, before becoming a
teacher himself at the Northern Vocational School, Toronto, and at
Trinity College School, Port Hope. Later, Harris joined the war effort
and became an official war artist, working for some time alongside
Charles Comfort in Italy.
