US George Morrison Non Perf/ No Die Cut NDC Mint Sheet of 20 stamps. MNH. 2022. Pre Order- Ships on 27 April 2022.

Stock photo, all stamps are Post Office fresh.

On April 22, 2022, in Grand Portage, MN, the United States Postal Service® will issue the George Morrison stamps (Forever® priced at the First-Class Mail® rate) in five designs, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 20 stamps (Item 481800). The stamps will go on sale nationwide April 22, 2022, and must not be sold or can- celed before the first-day-of-issue.

With these stamps, the Postal ServiceTM recognizes George Morrison (1919–2000), one of the nation's greatest modernist artists. The pane of 20 stamps showcases five of Morrison's abstract landscapes:

 Sun and River (1949);

 Phenomena Against the Crimson: Lake Superior Landscape (1985);

 Lake Superior Landscape (1981);

 Spirit Path, New Day, Red Rock Variation: Lake

Superior Landscape (1990); and

 Untitled (1995).

The selvage features a photograph of Morrison at Red Rock, his home and studio in Grand Portage, Minnesota. The photograph was taken by Marlene Wisuri in 1993. A founding figure of Native American modernism, Morrison challenged prevailing ideas of what Native American art should be, arguing that an artist's identity can exist inde- pendently from the nature of the art he creates. Antonio Alcalá served as art director and designer for this stamp pane.
