An abstract painting. Sign reads: George Morrison's paintings, like Dawn, are noted for their interconnected effects of light and form. Here, Morrison divides the composition into kaleidoscopic lines and shapes that are reminiscent of the refracted sunlight across earth, water, and sky. Morrison was an internationally acclaimed artist whose work in painting, drawing, sculpture, and print conveyed the aesthetic, spiritual, and geographic influences of his Northern Minnesota home and Ojibwe heritage. He attended the Art Students League in New York City, where he forged friendships with artists including Louise Nevelson, whose work is also on view in this gallery. “I seek the power of the rock, the magic of the water, the religion of the tree, the color of the wind, and the enigma of the horizon.”
