Mark Morrison in his studio
One of 19 original photographs by Soichi Sunami
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 of the great many academies, museums, teachers, and mentors it offered. He studied with John Flannagan before his death and then Jose de Creeft and William 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.
