	Lawren Harris - "Red House, Winter" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Harris believed that Theosophy offered him the path through which he was able to enter a transcendental world of pure form that he felt gave his art a timeless quality.
		Harris had a strong belief in what he called the "vital relationship" between artists and viewers and the exhibitions at Hart House in the early 1920s offered him the perfect environment to explore these ideas because students were naturally receptive to new theories.
		Harris relocated in Vancouver in 1940 and to support his first exhibition at Vancouver Art Gallery in 1941 he gave a lecture on abstraction that was probably much needed by the public since they were thoroughly startled to discover this momentous change in his painting.

	SJ. Light for a Cold Land: Lawren Harris's Work and Life - An Interpretation by Bart Testa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		A problem Lawren Harris poses for a critic is that he was a productive and often changing artist from the 1910s to the 1960s.
		Compositional tactics that Harris derived from the German landscape tradition in which he was originally trained, or that he later developed himself, do not also seem to carry doctrinal import - and the critic treats Harris's successive styles only as vehicles for symbols.
		The ambivalent assessment that results by the end of the book is that Harris erred, and perhaps weakened his art, when he moved away from the landscape painting which provided the proper vehicle for his spiritual aspirations.

		Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. MacDonald, and Lawren Harris have been given the gift-book treatment, and the drawings of Harris and A.Y. Jackson have been showcased between covers.

		The irony is that, thanks to his decades of devotion to Lawren Harris, Peter Larisey was fully equipped to deliver all this information.
