Untitled, 1972

An intricate 1972 ink work by George Morrison, built from densely layered curving lines that create a subtle relief-like field of movement and light. The work was included in George Morrison Drawings, organized by the Walker Art Center and traveling to the Heard Museum and the Amon Carter Museum of Western Art in 1973–74.

In an interview with Philip Larson conducted for the 1973 Walker exhibition Morrison stated that these drawings were "laid out with precise straight and curved lines, all the same distance apart, and the whole surface is evenly textured. There is an effect of shallow cubist depth made with overlapping lines, and a sense of indefinite space extending outwards from all four sides...I sometimes deliberately create a passage going up diagonally from the bottom left to top right. That it is going through is very obvious - a passage of lines that becomes immersed in other lines, weaving in and out." This ink weaving is clearly evident with the central vertical passage in this work, creating a connection between the top quarter of the painting into the lower half.
