Artist Statement:
Marc Morrel began his career
in New York City in the
beginning of the 1960s
exhibiting with Eve Hesse, Dan
Flaven, Sol LeWitt, Tina
Matkovic, Don Judd, Mark Di
Suvero, among the many young
painters of that period. It
was an exciting time for the
art world: the abstract
expressionists had already
established themselves,
breaking through many post-war
barriers and clearing a path
for the likes of Robert
Rauchenberg, Jim Dine, Jasper

other soon-to-be-famous pop
artists. It was also a time
of cultural revolution in
America, with a newly-elected
president, John F. Kennedy,
ushering in a hopeful age for
all the arts. Marc was then
painting and making
constructions of stuffed &
shaped canvases, exhibiting
this work in groups shows all
over Manhattan, in galleries
and institutions; and gaining
a reputation as one of New
York¹s up-and-coming artists.
Following the assassination of
President Kennedy, with a
terrible war now dividing the
country and finding it
personally difficult to create
art whilst hearing the cries
of the men, women and children
of Viet Nam on the daily news
reports, he decided to use the
only tool available to him to
