Morrissey was an intriguing figure, a lifelong conservative who became a key player in Warhol's Factory studio, making low-budget films about drug addicts and hustlers, as well as collaborating closely with some of the era's most notable artists and performers.
His best-known works include Trash (1970) about a down-and-out heroin addict and Flesh (1968), showcasing his unique style through the lens of marginalized communities.
Morrissey also managed the Velvet Underground for a brief period, helping to shape the band’s identity and making significant contributions to Warhol's multimedia projects, including the Exploding Plastic Inevitable.
Later, Morrissey expressed resentment toward Warhol, claiming he felt that Warhol took too much credit for their collaborative work, highlighting the complexities of their partnership.
