Lawrie spent seven decades creating architectural sculpture, medals, memorials and a limited number of freestanding statues. Additionally, he served on the board of the National Commission on Fine Arts, where he oversaw such projects at the development of the Federal Triangle in Washington, D.C.
He also taught sculpture at both Yale and Harvard, where he was doubtlessly influenced by the most modern schools of design during the dawn of the Machine age and Art Deco periods.
Prior to around 1920, most of his art was of patriotic or religious themes, but during the Art Deco Period, his designs were used in commercial and civic sonstruction, and left an indelible mark on the world of Art Deco.
