Lawrie trained at Grays in Aberdeen and in 1941 joined the film industry in London as a cameraman. It was at this time, that he first sold a picture - to Dylan Thomas for £5. Later in the 1940's he was exhibiting at Wolf Mankowitz' Little Gallery in London. Following a period in Africa, he followed the advice of the Scottish colourist and old friend, J. D. Ferguson, and went off to live in France (at St Paul de Vence) - for 9 years, returning to Edinburgh in 1960. ART
