Lawren Harris—Group of Seven
Lloyd Bennett, Thompson Rivers University Visual Arts Professor, talks about the famed Canadian artist Lawren Harris. Painting the Northern Ontarian and Arctic landscape in the 1920s, Harris and his Group of Seven cohorts pioneered a painting style that associated Canadian identity with their notion of the spiritual values of the national landscape and nature.
