About the Item

Dorothy Morton was born in New Zealand. The date is usually listed as 1905, but it also appears at 1890. She died there in 1983. It's hard to look at an mid-twentieth century intaglio print, dated 1949, and not to think that she encountered Stanley William Hayter along the way. Was she in NYC.? Could she have gone to his New York Atelier 17 workshop? There is a short exhibition history on line at the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. She showed every year at the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts from 1942 to 1958. Also in 1954, 55, and 61, she exhibited at the Canterbury Society of Arts. This startling image is signed, titled, and dated 1949 in pencil. It feels so 'modern.'
