GET TO KNOW GEORGE & SUZY

Morris painting exhibited at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in "American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection"
Crescendo (Elektra) painted by George L.K. Morris in 1936 and exhibited at the famed Downtown Gallery in NYC, is now on view at the Museum of Fine Arts,Houston in the exhibit American Modernism from the Charles Butt Collection. Businessman, philanthropist and Texas native Charles Butt collected over 80 works of American Modernism and is exhibiting his collection for the first time in 4 venues throughout Texas.
The painting measures 31"x 41", and is oil on canvas with collage. The collage element is a scrap of the score from Strauss' opera Elektra,his most modernistic work. Kinney Frelinghuysen, director of the Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio and nephew of Morris and Frelinghuysen comments, "With the combination of angular shapes and a flaming palette of the warm spectrum, Morris conveys the violent emotions of Strauss' opera."
The exhibit continues through January 18th, 2027 and travels to the McNay in March 2027.
