Hilda Grossman Morris

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hilda Grossman (Deutsch) Morris (1911 - 1991) was a sculptor of the Northwest School, working mainly in bronze.

Morris and her husband, the Abstract Expressionist painter Carl Morris, settled in Portland, Oregon in 1941. Except for extended trips to her hometown New York City and in later years Pietrasanta, Italy to cast bronze sculptures, she worked in Portland. Her work introduced rigorous thinking about abstraction to the Pacific Northwest incorporating the rhythms of dance, music, and mathematics, emphasizing the organization of organic structure. However, Morris's work has not received very much attention.
