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.
