Rebecca Morris (born 1969 in Honolulu, Hawaii) is an abstract painter who is known for quirky, casualist[1] compositions using grid-like structures. In 1994 she wrote Manifesto: For Abstractionists and Friends of the Non-Objective, a tongue-in-cheek but sincere response to contemporary criticism of abstract painting.[2] She is currently a professor of painting and drawing at UCLA.[3] Prior to that, she lectured at numerous colleges including Columbia University, Bard College, Pasadena City College, USC's School of Fine Arts, and the University of Chicago.[4]
