About
Why this artist matters now
Maud Morgan (1903, 1999) was an American painter and printmaker whose abstract works combined gestural mark-making with subtle chromatic shifts. Active from the 1930s through the late twentieth century, she developed a distinctive approach to non-objective composition that emphasized the material properties of paint and paper. Her practice spanned oils, watercolors, and prints, often exploring the relationship between spontaneity and deliberate formal structure. She remained committed to abstraction during periods when figurative work dominated American art discourse.
