It contains reproductions of Morley's most significant works, a critical essay by Sarah Whitfield, a new and illuminating interview with the artist by art critic Martin Gayford, as well as a chronology of the artist's life and career. .00May 2001 Malcolm Morley, winner of the first Turner Prize in 1984, is an artist whose work resists classification. Credited as the initiator of two significant and very different movements - Photo-Realism in the 1970s, and Neo-Expressionism in the 1980s - Morley's forty-year career has been distinguished by great technical virtuosity and a commitment to pushing painting to its limits. Inspired by film and advertising, by ancient myths and psychoanalysis, by old and modern masters, Morley's imagery is a form of highly-charged drama that has no equivalent in the art of our time.

Our continued growth and focus on collections and exhibitions led to our name change in 1986. The OMA has since received numerous additional donations, and purchased works with the generous support of the local community. Our collection of late modernist paintings include works by Morris Louis and Jules Olitski; and our contemporary works include paintings by April Gornik, John Chamberlain, and sculpture by Malcolm Morley. Within the American collection is the contemporary American graphics collection which consists of 193 works by many of the most important artists of our time as well as artists who are now emerging into prominence. This collection includes prints by master artists such as Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns to more contemporary artists like Katherine Bowling and Jane Hammond.

I'll certainly listen, but might not do anything about it. . And if you haven't seen it, you might want to check out Malcolm Morley's new site. Also, I've updated the visitor stats in the Miscellaneous section, and included some figures about where you all are. I've also included on the message from the author page a pic of where it all happens. The interview went surprisingly well and I wondered what was going on. Then this huge, maniacal figure in white overalls, beard and flowing mane looked in at the door. It was John Eichler, who thought I was some 'plot' that fellow worker Malcolm Morley had devised since I looked so strange. The opening line of conversation was 'what instrument do you play. ', and it turned out that most people were hired either for 'musical ability' or 'strangeness'.
