First Day City: First Day of Issue Ceremony held at Grand Portage National Monument in Grand Portage, Minnesota. The monument is located on the banks of Lake Superior and honors the history of the North American fur trade as well as Native American (Ojibwe) heritage. Lake Superior was a big influence on Morrison’s works, along with his Native American roots.
About the George Morrison set: Includes five stamps, each of which showcases a different work by George Morrison, a trailblazer in the field of Native American modernist art. The selvage of the pane of 20 stamps includes a black and white photograph of the artist in his home studio.
History the stamp represents: Though inspired by his Minnesota roots, George Morrison (1919-2000) found his artistic voice in the New York art scene and during travels abroad.
In 1943, Morrison bought a one-way ticket to New York City. Studying at the famed Art Students League, he joined a community of abstract expressionists and became known for his sophisticated tastes in art, music, and culture. Morrison explored cubism and surrealism. His works often used abstract forms to represent natural features, usually landscapes, such as Lake Superior.
After graduating in 1946, Morrison took his first of many teaching jobs. In an era when most artists participated in group shows, Morrison held his first solo show in 1948. He had 11 more over the next 12 years. In 1952, Morrison went to France on a Fulbright scholarship, learning and working in the modern European styles of the day. When he returned to the US, Morrison taught in Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Rhode Island.
Morrison spent 27 years traveling the world and teaching a new crop of artists around the United States. He visited, and briefly moved back to, Minnesota over the years. But in 1970, he moved back for good. It was time to get back to his Ojibwe roots and his favorite source of inspiration, Lake Superior.
