Revised and updated paperback edition of this acclaimed biography of a unique couple who were hugely influential across the spheres of art, gardening and cookery
Cedric Morris (18891982) and Arthur Lett-Haines (known as Lett) (18941978) were an extraordinary couple who were at the center of the Modern British art scene.
After studying in Paris in the 1920s, they moved to London. Morris became a sought-after painter of flowers, birds and landscapes, while Lett was hailed as Britains first Surrealist. Together they founded the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing at Benton End in Suffolk, attended by Lucian Freud and Maggi Hambling. Lett ran the school and was a superb cook who swapped recipes with Elizabeth David. Cedric Morris became an award-winning plantsman and poppy and iris breeder. He was an acknowledged influence on many gardeners, including Beth Chatto.
This biography, revised and updated for this paperback edition, is a fascinating portrait of a unique couple who were hugely influential across the spheres of gardening and cookery as well as art. With 16 pages of color and black and white illustrations.
