Mr. Harris inherited his taste for art from his father who gained wide distinction as an artist, his specialty being allegorical subjects. During the rage for posters a few years ago the decease made several of those productions, which were distributed through this country and also abroad. When the demand for posters decreased he devoted his time to the study of water and oil colours in which he soon gained a high proficiency. His works were noted for their great technique, boldness of manipulation, daring and masterful colouring, and also for the masterful interpretation of nature in many moods.
For several years Mr. Harris was a member of the Rochester Art Club and his pictures were always one of the attractions at the annual exhibit of that organization. In addition to his representations, some of the subjects of his productions included studies of peasant life which he made while recently visiting England, Ireland, Scotland, Germany and Holland. The Deceased was also a member of the Painter’s Club. He will be missed by the members of both these organizations.

Dice Kiefer: “ C’è una tale proliferazione di cose, musica, messaggi, che non esistono più confini da infrangere. Non voglio dire che Duchamp abbia fatto male a esporre il suo orinatoio, la prima volta è stato straordinario, ma la seconda non lo era già più, la terza volta non era altro hee un orinatoio. L’arte e la vita sono due cose molto diverse. ” È davvero la fine di un’era. Dopo il liceo si iscrive a Legge, ma nel 1966 lascia il corso per iscriversi a Pittura. Vive a Friburgo e frequenta lo studio di Peter Dreher poi si trasferisce a Karlsruhe dove avvicina il pittore Horst Antes, che considererà il suo primo e vero maestro. Nel 1972 incontra Joseph Beuys . Sono gli anni in cui Kiefer inizia una serie di azioni artistiche che definirà "Besetzungen" (Occupazioni). Egli, provocatoriamente, si fa fotografare col braccio teso nel saluto hitleriano davanti a una serie di luoghi della Germania Ovest e della Germania Est
