Painter and Plantsman: Cedric Morris, Irises and Beyond

  • Eric Morecambe Centre (map)

Interested in the Arts? Why not join the next lecture, at the Eric Morecambe Centre in Rothamsted Park. (£6 for one lecture or £45 for annual membership).

The flower paintings of Cedric Morris (1889-1982) capturing plants around the Mediterranean, the Canaries and beyond reveal him as a consummate botanist. After a fire in 1940, Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines were forced to relocate their East Anglia School of Painting and Drawing to Benton End near Hadleigh, in Suffolk. Not just a School but a vibrant eclectic artistic hub in a setting of Morris’s horticultural genius. He lived at Benton End until his death, enjoying national stature as artist and plantsman whose legacy included over 90 new irises.
