About the Item
Dimensions of the artworks vary.
Dorothy Carey Morgan was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata), India, in 1886 as the daughter of a British solicitor
Relatively little is known about Carey Morgan’s career as an artist. It is clear, however, that she produced work exploring various mediums ranging from etching and engraving, to pastels, sculpture and watercolours. Between 1909 and 1939 Dorothy Carey Morgan exhibited with the Royal Society of Artists Birmingham, International Society, Walker Art Gallery Liverpool, The Royal Academy, Royal Institute of Painters and Water Colours and Royal Scottish Academy. Carey Morgan also created two works for the Scottish Women’s Hospital depicting two different view points of L’Abbaye de Royaumont, a Cistercian abbey located in Val-d’Oise, France. For a large portion of Carey Morgan’s life, the artist was based in London living for a time in both St Johns Wood and Lincoln’s Inn. However, throughout the 1920s Carey Morgan travelled widely around parts of central and southern Africa, and the surrounding regions.
The collection of pastel and watercolour pictures in this exhibition were created during these travels. By 1914 European Imperial powers had fully colonized the African continent with Britain having control over vast swathes of southern, eastern and western Africa by 1920. Carey Morgan depicts the British colonies of Transvaal, Nyasaland and the Seychelles as well as Portuguese Mozambique.
Carey Morgan’s works on paper explore the vibrant natural landscapes of these locations. Often combining the sublime enormity of natural phenomenons, such as mountain ranges and vast lakes, with domestic scenes of every-day village life. The vibrancy of her chosen materials and considered composition convey an intense beauty in each scene, with man and nature living in
harmony.

- Pastel, Ink Drawing Rocks And Cloud Landscape Jewish American Modernist WPABy Ben-Zion WeinmanLocated in Surfside, FLMiniature Landscape Provenance: Virginia Field, Arts administrator; New York, N.Y. Assistant director for Asia House gallery. (she was friends with John von Wicht and Andy Warhol) Born in 1897, Ben-Zion Weinman celebrated his European Jewish heritage in his visual works as a sculptor, painter, and printmaker. Influenced by Spinoza, Knut Hamsun, and Wladyslaw Reymont, as well as Hebrew literature, Ben-Zion wrote poetry and essays that, like his visual work, attempt to reveal the deep “connection between man and the divine, and between man and earth.” An emigrant from the Ukraine, he came to the US in 1920. He wrote fairy tales and poems in Hebrew under the name Benzion Weinman, but when he began painting he dropped his last name and hyphenated his first, saying an artist needed only one name. Ben-Zion was a founding member of “The Ten: An Independent Group” The Ten” a 1930’s avant-garde group, Painted on anything handy. Ben-Zion often used cabinet doors (panels) in his work. Other members of group included Ilya Bolotowsky, Lee Gatch, Adolf Gottlieb, Louis Harris, Yankel Kufeld, Marcus Rothkowitz (later known as Mark Rothko), Louis Schanker, and Joseph Solman. The Art of “The Ten” was generally described as expressionist, as this style offered the best link between modernism and social art. Their exhibition at the Mercury Gallery in New York held at the same time as the Whitney Annual Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting, included a manifesto concentrating on aesthetic questions and criticisms of the conservative definition of modern art imposed by the Whitney. Ben-Zion’s work was quickly noticed. The New York Sun said he painted “furiously” and called him “the farthest along of the lot.” And the triptych, “The Glory of War,” was described by Art News as “resounding.” By 1939, The Ten disbanded because most of the members found individual galleries to represent their work. Ben-Zion had his first one-man show at the Artist’s Gallery in Greenwich Village and J.B. Neumann, the highly esteemed European art dealer who introduced Paul Klee, (among others) to America, purchased several of Ben-Zion’s drawings. Curt Valentin, another well-known dealer, exhibited groups of his drawings and undertook the printing of four portfolios of etchings, each composed of Ben-Zion’s biblical themes. Ben-Zion’s work is represented in many museums throughout the country including the Metropolitan, the Whitney, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Phillips Collection, Washington. The Jewish Museum in New York opened in 1948 with a Ben-Zion exhibition. “Ben-Zion has his hands on the pulse of the common man and his natural world” As he emerged as an artist Ben-Zion never lost his gift for presenting the ordinary in ways that are vital, fresh and filled with emotions that are somber and exhilarating, joyous and thoughtful, and ultimately, filled with extraordinary poetic simplicity. Ben-Zion consistently threaded certain subject matter—nature, still life, the human figure, the Hebrew Bible, and the Jewish people—into his work throughout his life. "In all his work a profound human feeling remains. Sea and sky, even sheaves of wheat acquire a monolithic beauty and simplicity which delineates the transient as a reflection of the eternal. This sensitive inter- mingling of the physical and metaphysical is one of the most enduring features of Ben-Zion's works." (Excerpt from Stephen Kayser, “Biblical Paintings,” The Jewish Museum Catalogue, 1952). Along with ben Shahn, William Gropper, Chaim Gross and Abraham Rattner he was an influential mid century Jewish American...Category
