Commentary

Maud Morgan and her husband Patrick Morgan were revered art teachers at Phillips Academy and Abbot Academy from 1941 into the 50s during which time they introduced a generation of Phillips Academy students to the study of art and the power of abstract art. Their inviting home on the campus, filled with important paintings, gave students like Hollis Frampton, Frank Stella, and Carl Andre a place to gather and spend time talking about art, an experience that had profound influence on these artists’ decisions to become artists themselves. The Morgans both had a hand in a number of major acquisitions during their tenure, and Maud Morgan continued the tradition well into the 1990s.
