Harris was an outspoken defender of modernism and a very private person. \u003ci\u003eInward Journey\u003c\/i\u003e offers a gripping and sympathetic account of the artist's public persona as the spokesperson for the Group of Seven and his championship of Canadian art and artists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn to great wealth, Harris spent much of his existence selflessly promoting Canadian painting and the interests of his fellow artists. But Harris's personal struggle to become an artist was long and complex, and he was beset by much turmoil throughout his life. When, early in 1930, he achieved a creative peak -- in his mountain and Arctic canvases -- he turned his back on representational art and spent the remainder of his career becoming an abstract painter. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarris's unhappy first marriage, his flight to New Hampshire and New Mexico, his lifelong interest in theosophy, his sometimes overbearing attitude toward younger artists, and the full magnitude of his inner struggles are all dealt with fully in this sensitive, engaging narrative that captures the complexity of the man behind the mask.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames King\u003c\/strong\u003e is a distinguished university professor in the Faculty of Humanities at McMaster University.
