In the vast landscapes of Britain, enveloped in the subdued light of the northern sky, the life of an extraordinary artist and botanist emerged. Sir Cedric Lockwood Morris, born in Swansea on December 11, 1889, created a rich array of landscapes, portraits, and still lifes, with a particular fondness for floral still lifes. Each fine art print of his work brings to life the subtle balance of his colors and shapes, transporting the viewer into the aesthetic world Morris so uniquely created.
Born into the industrialist family of George Lockwood Morris, Cedric led a varied life, full of adventure and cultural diversity. His early years were spent in prestigious schools such as St. Cyprian's School and Charterhouse School. Despite the lure of a military career, but denied by a failed entrance exam, Morris was drawn to the wider world. His travels took him from the farms of Canada to the vibrant streets of New York. Upon his return to Europe, he turned to the world of art. Initially trained in singing at London's Royal College of Music, he felt a deeper calling in painting. Paris became his artistic home, where he studied at the Académie Delécluse. The outbreak of World War I drew him back to Britain where, despite medical restrictions, he took a role at Lord Rosslyn's riding stable in Theale.
His profound experiences and encounters shaped Morris's artistic vision. His friendship with New Zealand painter Frances Hodgkins and his encounters with painter and sculptor Arthur Lett-Haines in London opened new horizons for his artistic development. After Lett-Haines' wife Gertrude Aimee Lincoln returned to the United States alone, Morris began a lifelong partnership with him. The twenties were a time of cultural exchange and encounters for Morris. In Paris, they became part of a vibrant artistic community that included such luminaries as Duchamp, Juan Gris, Fernand Léger, Peggy Guggenheim, Nancy Cunard, and Hemingway. In 1924, after his return to London, his first exhibition took place. Cedric Lockwood Morris' art prints offer an unparalleled opportunity to experience the richness and diversity of his art. Each print is a testament to his distinctive signature and a reflection of the life and passions of this remarkable artist. Reproduced with the utmost care, they bring to life the unique flair and atmosphere of his original works, bringing a piece of the fascinating world of Sir Cedric Lockwood Morris into your home or office.
