The Art of George Morrison at the Plains Art Museum,Picasso and Chicago at the Art Institute of Chicago,Collector
Modern Spirit: The Art of George Morrison at the Plains Art Museum “George Morrison’s importance to our understanding of twentieth-century Native American art is unparalleled,” says Kristin Makholm, executive director of the Minnesota Museum of American Art. “This first, comprehensive retrospective of his work will reveal how visions of identity and place play an essential role in assessing American art of the 20th century and beyond.” The Minnesota Museum of American Art launched Modern Spirit: The Art of George Morrison, an exhibition of about 80 drawings, paintings, prints, and sculptures at the Plains Art Museum in Fargo, North Dakota on June 16, 2013. Modern Spirit surveys the prolific career of George Morrison (1919–2000), a distinctive and well-loved artist whose works bring together concepts of abstraction, landscape, and spiritual reflection and draw from his physical and spiritual homelands—speaking to both American urban settings and to the solitude of Northern Minnesota. Modern Spirit spans the entire breadth of Morrison’s oeuvre, from early figurative drawings and Regionalist paintings of the 1940s to monumental abstract landscapes and wood sculptures of the 1970s onward. Many of the works in the exhibition draw from Morrison’s early career in New York, Providence, and Provincetown and refer to important art historical movements such as Cubism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. Modern Spirit also presents Morrison’s works from the 1970s to the 1990s, which were inspired in part by the artist’s home on the north shore of Lake Superior. This body of work includes line drawings on colored papers, sketches of constellations over Lake Superior, and several paintings of forms breaking up in front of the abstracted shoreline.

Oral history interview with Tom Wesselmann, 1984 January 3-February 8 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview Interview with Tom Wesselmann Conducted by Irving Sandler At his studio on the Bowery 1984 January 3 - February 8 Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Tom Wesselmann on January 3-February 8, 1984. The interview took place at his studio on the Bowery, and was conducted by Irving Sandler for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview IS: Irving Sandler TW: Tom Wesselmann IS: I think last time we got you down to the Cooper Union, when you'd come to New York. Perhaps you could speak a little bit about that. First of all, last time you said you began at Cooper Union in cartooning, and then at one point the art curriculum and art itself began to impinge on you. TW: O.K. Now it's beginning to come back, what happened to me at Cooper Union. I was continuing my very, kind of cocky way in my attempt to be a cartoonist going to Cooper Union to stall for time, again on the G.I. Bill. I'd taught myself to draw cartoons, and the art school I viewed as a completely separate phenomenon. It had nothing to do with cartooning or with me.

Press Release
Press Release American Cutout examines the role of torn and cut forms in postwar American art. The exhibition will demonstrate how, for a broad spectrum of artists, cutout was a crucial impetus towards a growing awareness of the expressive power of the support, and informed a sense of edge as an autonomous, expressive dimension. As David Cohen, curator of American Cutout, writes in the Online exhibition catalogue: "Informed equally by modernist collage and Americana, artists as diverse as Ellsworth Kelly and Alex Katz, Richard Tuttle and Tom Wesselmann, took cutout to new places. Cutout signals both the inventiveness and idiosyncrasy of postwar American art." In historic scope, American Cutout stretches from a weathervane equestrian portrait of George Washington designed in the Revolutionary era to an ominious image of the ante-bellum South cut in silhouette by Kara Walker more than two centuries later. The idea of cutout as a feature of vernacular culture that influences fine art is further emphasized by a recent painting by Phillip Pearlstein depicting a butcher's sign from the artist's extensive collection of Americana. The exhibition also includes an exquisite cutout by the outsider artist James Castle from the 1940s. The focus of American Cutout, however, is the thirty years from the end of World War Two (from a 1940s collage by Judith Rothschild to a preparatory sketch by Frank Stella for his groundbreaking "Polish Village" series.) Many American artists in this period were profoundly influenced by the late gouaches decoupées of Matisse (an example of which, borrowed from the Pierre and Gaetana Matisse Foundation, is included in the exhibition, the only work by a non-American).
