Artist
W. Morrison
W. Morrison is an Impressionism artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
W. Morrison’s paintings of kids in the 1860s look like photos that somehow forgot the camera was there—tiny hands clutch chalk, hats sit crooked, one girl’s braid dangles like a question mark. The faces feel alive because Morrison worked from live children, not stiff studio poses. Slide past the crowd at the Met and hunt his “Composition of Children” (1869): the red-haired boy front and center seems about to speak, and for a second the gallery goes quiet.
