George Morrison

George Morrison (1919 - 2000) was active/lived in Minnesota, New York / France.  George Morrison is known for Abstract expressionost painting, modernist Indian, collage.

George Morrison was a member of the Grand Portage Band of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe. He was born in 1919 in Chippewa City, Cook County, Minnesota, near the Grand Portage Indian Reservation.

Morrison was one of 12 children in a poor household. His father worked as a trapper and used his fluent knowledge of the Ojibwe language to interpret court proceedings. As a child, he spent months in a full body cast recovering from a surgery; it was during this period of recuperation that he began to draw.

Morrison briefly attended a Native American boarding school in Hayward, Wisconsin.[5] Due to poor health, Morrison returned to Minnesota and attended a Native American sanatorium in Onigum, Minnesota and the Gillette State Hospital for Crippled Children in St. Paul.[3] He attended Grand Marais High School, graduating in 1938, and then the Minnesota School of Art, now the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, graduating in 1943.[Displaying 951 of 12181 characters.]  Artist bio
