Museum Collections: Metropolitan Museum of Art National Academy of Design Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Whitney Museum of American Art. Museum of Fine Arts, University of Arizona Mark Morrison began his life as a sculptor while nearing his professional retirement. In the late 1930s and into the 1940s, he like many of the younger artists in New York City availed himself to the great many academies, museums, teachers and mentors it offered. He studied with John Flannagan before his death, and then Jose de Creeft and Williams Zorach at the Art Students League. Having an attraction and aptitude for the ideas of the direct carving movement and good thorough craft, he took advantage of the growing public interest in a new American sculpture, and worked quickly to become a contemporary of his teachers. Through the 1950s, he exhibited with them, sold, entered competitions, and won awards. He was a sculptor with a sure hand, a head for academy, patience, and promise. Morrison died suddenly in October 1964 having had just married his second wife earlier the same year. Mrs. Mark Morrison would offer a small piece for one more exhibition with a Sculptors Guild in 1965. The work was never seen again until 2025. Morrison was born on New Year’s Day in 1895 in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, a small rural city not yet a part of the Union. The only child of a Protestant minister, and one of only 16 that in 1913 would graduate from his high school in Higginsville, Missouri. He studied agriculture at the University of Missouri, at some point leaving to enlist in the army. He would reach the rank of Major. After the war, he married his first wife, moved to New York and began work for Tidewater Oil. He worked with them until 1954, retiring as a vice president. At the time he was living at 8 W. 13th St., his studio already set up in a corner of the basement in his apartment building. The earliest exhibition on record for a work by Morrison was the Artists for Victory show at the Metropolitan Museum, 1942. Earlier the same year, John Flanagan committed suicide. The death was a terrible blow. Flannagan had been a profound influence, sharing both technical instruction and philosophical guidance. The importance of their friendship during the 1930's cannot be overemphasized. Morrison is part of Flannagan's artistic legacy, his only known pupil during the mythical sculptor's short life. Born in the same year of 1895, both artists came to NYC from rural regions of the US: Oklahoma and North Dakota respectively. In contrast to Morrison's stable life, Flannagan was a deeply troubled, difficult, impatient and unpredictable man. To have considered mentoring Morrison, his teacher must have seen a kindred spirit and artist of extraordinary potential. In turn, Morrison must have been a sympathetic and patient pupil who recognized the importance of overlooking personal shortcomings for the invaluable instruction of an artistic genius. Morrison did not show regularly for almost 10 years spending this time educating himself, exhibiting here and there. He continued his sculpture studies at the Art Student League with Zorach and de Creeft, spending most nights working stones in his studio. His mature style would become clearly realized by 1950, a synthesis of the naïve and the sophisticated, what Flanagan called "the image in the rock", and the polished fluid marbles of Zorach. Black Swan was featured in the Sculptors Guild exhibition "In Time and Place" at the Museum of Natural History in March 1952. And exhibit pushing those points in their mission to assist the public to fuller appreciation of sculpture, and that the sculpture and the architecture of buildings may again be planned simultaneous and homogeneously. Morrison's swan was the centerpiece of the modern living room designed by Earnshaw, Inc. In the same hall of the museum one year earlier Morrison and other members of the group demonstrated process at work in seven makeshift studios. He would continue to exhibit in Guild annuals and Audubon Artist annuals. His sculpture "Gosling" was given a special honorable mention from the Architects League in the Avery Competition of 1958, runner up to Zorach. In 1959, when he showed "Grasshopper" he won outright. He had moved his studio to a larger more private space a few blocks away in Greenwich Village. By 1964 his work had become larger in scale, his groupings more challenging and lively, more considerate of light and the nature of the stone itself. He had lost weight and for a man of nearly 70 years old was in very good health. His death was unexpected and unfortunate, probably of a stroke . His legacy has survived, largely unknown until now in a small ranch in upstate New York.
