"For fifty years George Morrison has had an active part in the world of contemporary art, and he is widely recognized as one of the most important Native American painters of his generation. In Turning the Feather My Life in Art, Morrison tells about his life's journey, which began in a small Ojibway community on Minnesota's North Shore and took him to Europe and New York City during one of the most exciting periods of twentieth-century art. Morrison's return to Minnesota and his Native American roots is a powerful human story of creativity and spirituality in the life of a powerful artist." Evan M.
