A beautifully illustrated review of the deeply connected lives and
careers of this prominent Minneapolis African American
artist-couple Clarence Morgan and Arlene Burke-Morgan are the
epitome of an artist-couple: in love with each other and their
family, in love with their art, and devoted to faith, values, and
culture that encouraged their artistic development, leading to
national and international acclaim and recognition. Originally from
Philadelphia, the couple lived and worked side by side throughout
their long careers, contributing significantly to each other and to
the art communities of the Twin Cities, the University of
Minnesota, and beyond. For thirty years, Clarence Morgan was a
member of the art department at the university; his art, directed
toward abstraction, focused on painting, drawing, and printmaking.
Arlene Burke-Morgan also taught at the university, and, after early
work with textiles, eventually evolved to an approach of
abstraction, especially working with clay, drawing, and
installations. The catalog for an exhibition at the Katherine E.
Nash Gallery at the University of Minnesota in 2023, A Tender
Spirit, A Vital Form is prolifically illustrated with reproductions
of works by the artists and features essays on their personal
histories and artistic practices. Contributors: Robert Cozzolino,
Minneapolis Institute of Art; Tia-Simone Gardner, Macalester
College; Bill Gaskins, Maryland Institute College of Art; Nyeema
Morgan, interdisciplinary artist.
