Lawren Harris: Ordered Reflections

Open to members, guests and the public

Lawren Harris’ paintings are among the most iconic images in Canadian art, known for their quiet power and spiritual clarity. This talk will explore how Harris sought to distill order nature and society through stylization abstraction and symbolism — tracing his evolution from the his Pre-Group of Seven period to his lesser-known transcendental works. Along the way, we’ll look at his influences, the philosophy behind his approach, and why his work continues to resonate today.
