Painter Morris Broderson, born in 1928, worked in oil, watercolor and pastel, primarily painting realistic still-lifes of the objects he assembled. In his early paintings, allegorical themes such as the Crucifixion, poet Garcia Lorca and Kabuki legends prevail. Later, he depicted both exotic and common objects, flowers, embellished vases, textiles and some portraiture. The images are almost fantasy, saturated with a multitude of associations and references.
The artist was educated at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. His awards include New Talent USA from Art in America, and First Prize and Purchase at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. He exhibited at the M.H. De Young Museum, San Francisco, and the University of Arizona, Tucson. A world-renowned deaf artist, his paintings are part of the permanent collections of the Joseph H. Hirshhorn Museum, in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, National Collection of Fine Arts, Washington D.C., Rochester Institute of Technology, Gallaudet College, Yale University, Stanford University Museum of Art, Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Krannert Museum in Champaign, Illinois, to name a few.
