2 min readJun 10, 2019
George Morrison (1919 — April 17, 2000) was an American landscape painter and sculptor. His Indian name was Wah Wah Teh Go Nay Ga Bo (Standing In the Northern Lights)
“George Morrison has been called the “grandfather of Native Modernism”; he kept deep connections both to 20th century abstract expressionism and to his home-land on the north shore of Lake Superior. Morrison was part of that bohemian world of post-World War II painters and beat writers who hung out in Greenwich Village at the Cedar Street Tavern.”
