Morris Louis, a bold, I"

was building a reputation as
one of this country's leading
abstractionists, died of cancer
yesterday at his Northwest
Washington home. He was 40.
He was called by New York
art critic Clement Greenberg
lone of the two best American
painters working today"
But in spite of his name as
an abstract expressionist," and
his generally huge canvases,
his wife, Marcella, said he was
a very orderly worker.
He would rise early and work
every day, she said. Nor did he
roam the world or live in Paris
garrets for inspiration, Mrs.
Louis said, adding:
For his ideas, he mostly
thought. He would work at
home and take his work UP to
his dealer, Andre Emmerich, in
New York. He didn't work on
commissions"
Mr.. Louis had exhibited dur
ing the last two years in Lon
don, Rome, Paris and Zurich.
His paintings are in many Eu-
ropean collections. The Gal
lerie Neufville in Paris bought
much of his work.
But the Baltimore-born art
ist never lived overseas. He
chose Washington, Mrs. Louis
said, because of its relative ar
tistic freedom.
Born Morris Louis Bernstein,
he studied at the Maryland In
stitute, and taught privately.
