Originally from Indiana, Harris received his BFA from the John Heron Art School in Indianapolis and his MFA from the Newcomb Art School at Tulane University. He accepted a teaching position and the University of Buffalo in 1965 and retired from the university in 1998. An article accompanying a retrospective of his work describes his style as - "Harris's cubistic work was influenced by his experiences as a glider pilot. It led him to fracture the picture plane to produce a kaleidoscopic image, which he simultaneously presented with straight-on views of his subject."

Good estate condition - not examined out of the frame.
