Artistic Couple Will Exhibit Painting/
Sculpture at Little Art Gallery Saturday
A joint exhibition featuring the
work of Carl and Hilda Morris,
painter and sculptor, respectively,
will open in the Little Art gallery,
in the art school Saturday.
Carl Morris is the artist who
painted the two murals in the Eu
gene federal post office building
These paintings depict the timbei
industry, and an agriculture scene,
two of the outstanding industries
of the Eugene area.
“One will find in the sculpturing
of the one and the painting of the
ether a continuous concern for the
fundamental relationships of man
with his natural environment. Far
from merely expressing in art what
the other artist expresses in his,
painting and sculpturing are dis
tinctly personal in statement,” com
mented Dr. W. S. Baldinger, asso
ciate professor of art, who is in
charge of the exhibit.
In the painting section of the ex
■ hibit will be included 25 of Carl
Morris’s paintings which were re
centlyshown in a one-man show at
the California Palace of Legion of
Hnor in San'Fraifcisco. Mrs. Mor
ris’s sculpturing works that will be
on display were also shown in a
cne-man show, last July at the Port
land art museum.
According to Dr. Baldinger, both
artists a re widely recognized in their
arts, as among the most important
and most significant ones in the
Northwest. Mr. and Mrs. Morris are
represented in permanent collec
tions all over the United States and
are holders of numerous prizes.
Carl Morris was born in and spent
most of his early life in southern
California near Los Angeles. His
first ambitions were in the pottery
field, but under the influence of Or
ozco, a Mexican painter, Morris
turned to painting instead.
The artist’s training was ob
tained at the Art Institute of
Chicago, the Arts and Crafts
school in Vienna, and in Paris,
where he studied on a year’s schol
arship. While in Baris, Morris
became interested in the paintings
of Picasso and was influenced "by
them.
From 1938 to 1940, Morris di
rected the Spokane community art
center. It was here that the paint
er met his future wife, who was
sent from N'ew York to the school
to teach sculpturing. They were
married in 1940 and Dr. Baldin
ger’s comments about them were,
“the two artists have influenced
and stimulated each other greatly
in their individual work.”
While working in Seattle, Carl
Morris won first place in the com
petition for the mural commission
contest to paint the Eugene post
office murals, which he finished
in 1943. A member of the com
mission jury which awarded Mor
ris the work was David McCosh,
assistant professor of painting of
the University art school.
In order to be nearer the loca
tion where the murals were to be,
the Morrises moved to Portland,
and have made their home there
since that time.
The art galleries are open daily
from 2 p. m. to 5 p. m. and the
public is urged to attend this
joint exhibition. Dr. Baldinger
said that the inherent quality of
the Morris creations makes this
exhibit one of the outstanding
ones to be shown this school year
at the art school. It will continue
throughout the month of March,
he added.
