Sir Cedric Morris 1889 - 1982
A self-taught painter and keen horticulturist, Morris was born in Swansea and studied briefly in Paris. After playing a key role in the Welsh Contemporary Art Exhibition at the National Library in 1935, Morris co-founded the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing - an eccentric art school for non-professionals and professionals alike with a teaching method free from doctrine. A member of the London Group, Morris went on to lecture at the Royal College of Art in the 1950's.
Morris is best know for his post-impressionist representation of flowers, still-lifes, landscapes and portrait in strong bold colours.
