Carl Morris

The Russo Lee Gallery rings in 2017 with “Decades,” paintings by the Northwest master Carl Morris. As the name of the show implies, Morris had a long and varied career, and this collection is comprised of work ranging across fifty years. While embracing abstraction, Carl Morris was also engaged by narrative expression, where “Man, light and atmosphere intersect.” From his response to Second World War in the 1940’s through Abstract Expressionism and beyond, this exhibition traces the artist’s journey to his own unmistakable “Northwest Mystic” style.
