Morsing first studied art at the summer schools held by Swedish designer and artist Edvin Ollers (1888-1959). At the outbreak of war in 1939, Morsing was conscripted into the Swedish army, but as Sweden's neutrality developed he was one of the first students to attended Gösta and Irma Bergh's Technical School of Advertising (which later became Berghs School) between 1940-1941 were he studied decorative arts, design, life drawing, and illustration.

Established in 1939, the salon exhibited the work of young artists in various locations around Stockholm for almost 70 years. Morsing then travelled to Italy (1947), France and Tunisia (1950-51) and exhibited once again at 'Modern Konst i Hemmiljö' in 1952. Morsing then visited Paris in 1953, before embarking on a motorcycle tour of Portugal, Spain and Morocco in 1954.
