Victoria - thanks for this interesting biography. I am fascinated to discover artists I did not previously know. I really enjoy his style, especially the flowers but also his portraits. Quite an interesting life.
Hey, when you mentioned recently you were doing a piece on him, I was pleased. I think you bring together the different elements of his life and work in a really cool way. I love the Brook Street picture, but, like David Roberts, below it’s the mottled irises that seize my imagination for their sexy beauty, and the way they radiate his love of gardening.
I’ve got some notebook material on him…this has prompted me to look it out.
I loved reading this. It seems as if they had a beautiful relationship. I actually haven't seen much about Cedric so this was extremely interesting. I'm very surprised that I haven't seen more written on him. If he knew Peggy Guggenheim, that's a name tied to Jackson Pollock. Although, that would be a completely different style of art. Also, Jackson was in high school at the time but still! Isn't it interesting that so much is written about Jackson Pollock and so little about Cedric Lockwood? Yet, Cedrics style of painting is one that society seems to like/understand more. It's very interesting to me. Anyway, I absolutely LOVE reading about artists. Thank you!
I'd never heard of him, but there is some lovely stuff here and so many different styles. The View from Brook Street is lovely, but the Welsh watercolour is perhaps my favourite.
Thanks for another lovely article introducing an artist I'd never heard of, but now want to learn more about. I'm not one for still life paintings but the ones you've shown are incredible!

Fantastic stuff! He's a sort of proto Edward Burra - I am thinking in particular of the 'Cafe de la Rotonde painting.
I have to admit, I had never heard of him. Now I have. Thank you.
What a beautiful article to read just as the trees are blooming in middle Tennessee. I loved the Mottled Iris painting.
Victoria,
It's nice to learn about an artist who had a long, incredibly productive career and a lifelong romance, one not so easy to pull off in his times.
The variety of his styles and subjects is a testament to the longevity of his career and his wanderlust for new places.
My favorite painting was The Mottled Iris. Very sensual (at least that was my Rorschach reading of it!)
Thanks for the introduction to Cedric Morris.
What a long, productive and varied life.

An artist I admit I knew little of! Some lovely work of his to admire, and an interesting life!
Thank you 🙂

Thanks. This is so interesting.
Thanks, Victoria! Very interesting life and work and love the paintings.
I’m new to your newsletter and so happy to have found it. I could look at the iris and tulips painting for hours - the lighting is beautiful!
A fascinating discovery, thank you. What a varied life.
