  
  About the Artwork
  
  
  The coastline near Provincetown, Massachusetts, where George Morrison summered at an artist colony during the 1960s, reminded him of his childhood on the Grand Portage Reservation on the northern shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. The memory prompted Morrison to resume a favorite pastime from his youth&acirc;&#128;&#148;beachcombing&acirc;&#128;&#148;but now he assembled the weathered, water-washed driftwood that he collected into oblong abstract assemblages. New England Landscape is one of the first known examples of a concept that Morrison continued to explore throughout his career.

  Most frequently, accession numbers begin with the year in which the artwork entered the museum&acirc;&#128;&#153;s holdings.
  For example, 2008.3 refers to the year of acquisition and notes that it was the 3rd of that year. The DIA has a few additional systems&acirc;&#128;&#148;no longer assigned&acirc;&#128;&#148;that identify specific donors or museum patronage groups.
