The following obituary is from The New York Times, by Holland Cotter:
Morris
Graves, an artist whose paintings of wounded birds and supernaturally
radiant flowers combined the spirit of American Transcendentalism
with Asian philosophy, and whose reclusive efforts to avoid what he
called "the machine- age noise of America" were the stuff of legend,
died on Saturday at his home in Loleta, Calif. He was 90.
Often
associated with a group of painters from the Pacific No (showing 500 of 17760 characters). |
