George Morrison

To celebrate the centennial of George Morrison’s birth (1919-2000), Bockley Gallery presents an exhibition of select paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture spanning more than five decades of this acclaimed artist’s life. Born on Lake Superior’s north shore and a member of Grand Portage Band of Chippewa, Morrison is recognized nationally as an artist, a teacher, a mentor, and a cultural leader. This exhibition reaffirms the recent traveling retrospective and publication, Modern Spirit: The Art of George Morrison (2013–2015), organized by the Minnesota Museum of American Art, which highlighted the depth and breadth of his Abstract Expressionist practice, and how his homeland and phenomenology of place guided his artmaking in so many ways
