GET TO KNOW GEORGE & SUZY

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.

We really enjoyed the Director’s Corner and learning so much about Suzy’s mission and legacy for this amazing property! ”- Christine and James. Lenox, MA.
