Morris Graves: The Early Works

Published in conjunction with an exhibit organized by the Museum of Northwest Art, La Conner, Washington. Wolffe discusses the early work of the painter who burst from a regional following in the Pacific Northwest to art-world celebrity when he was 31 years old, after a 1942 Museum of Modern Art exhibition. This exhibit catalogue offers a close look at the relatively little-known work Graves produced in his early years, between 1931 and 1938, when he was developing both his techniques and his personal vision.
