George Morrison exhibit open in St. Paul until April 26

The George Morrison retrospective at the Minnesota History Center features works by the famed North Shore artist that have not been seen before. This interesting black and white piece is an example of Morrison’s abstract work.

The first comprehensive retrospective of a key Native American modernist, Modern Spirit: The Art of George Morrison will be on display at the Minnesota History Center in St. Paul Feb. 14 through April 26, 2015.

The exhibit includes drawings, paintings, prints, and sculpture that bring together concepts of abstraction, landscape, and spiritual reflection in the mind and eye of this important 20th-century artist.

Half of the 80 works in the exhibition issue from the largest and most important collection of Morrison’s artwork in the country, the Minnesota Museum of American Art in St. Paul. The other 40 stem from important public and private collections from across the country including four pieces from the collection of the Minnesota Historical Society.
