Why Cedric Morris Is So Highly Regarded

Cedric Morris was both an influential artist and an important teacher, co-founding the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing. His work is instantly recognisable for its intense colour palettes, direct observation of nature, and confident, unorthodox approach to form.

Collectors are particularly drawn to:

  • Flower paintings, especially irises, poppies, and lilies

  • Landscapes and garden scenes

  • Still lifes with strong colour contrasts

  • Works from the 1930s to 1950s

  • Paintings with clear provenance or exhibition history

Morris’s paintings balance modernist sensibility with a deeply personal vision, contributing to their enduring appeal.
