GET TO KNOW GEORGE & SUZY
New Discovery!
We have an exciting discovery of Morris’ artwork. It is a work on paper commissioned by General Electric in 1940 in an innovative ad campaign using well-known contemporary artists to promote the company’s new line of refrigerators. Additionally,in the Studio this past Season we exhibited a view of George & Suzy’s individual paths to artistic expression and how their collection of Cubist masters instructed their art. Audio clips of George’s voice as he recounts his life’s journey are available thanks to a digitized 1968 oral interview from the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art.
Closed until Spring! Thank you to all our appreciative visitors, sample some of the comments below!
