Additional Information

Although he is best known for his figurative and still-life paintings, in the early 1920s Morris made a number of abstract paintings, influenced by the Italian artist Anton Giulio Bragaglia. Bragaglia’s emphasis was on the dynamic synthesis of forms, and Morris felt that even figurative and landscape paintings were essentially arrangements of forms, lines and planes. This experiment in texture is an exploration of in representing some of the ‘mass, volume and textures that correspond to the very things one is trying to present.’ Morris used impasto techniques in many of his paintings, and texture remained important to his work throughout his career.
