| | Welcome Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio ! | A new artists' home and studio is joining the network! Painters Suzy Frelinghuysen and George L.K. Morris, were founding members of the American Abstract Artists. They also collected the 20th century’s greatest abstract art, including works by Picasso, Gris, Matisse and Leger. Their Studio was built first in 1931 based on Le Corbusier's studio in Paris in which Morris studied with Leger. The House was added later in 1941 after Morris and Frelinghuysen married and incorporated their frescos in the exterior, living room and dining room.
