ROBERT E. MORRIS
Robert E. Morris studied art and architecture at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana and at L'Ecole de Beaux Arts, Paris. While running around Europe he enjoyed sketching spontaneous images of great architecture and picturesque villages, often times with a bottle of wine and a baguette. Architecture Serviette is an homage to those wanderings, searching for direction and purpose.
Most of these images emerged at The Wine Studio in Lockport on Sunday evenings while enjoying great wine, good food and wonderful live music on napkins graciously supplied by The Studio.
The subjects of each piece involve various (sometimes overlapping) themes. Some of the images contain somewhat subtle references to stories within the subject. The icons identify some of these themes.
