Revealing Nature:
The Art of Cedric Morris and Lett-Haines
Gainsborough's House | From 6 July – 3 November 2024
Philip Mould & Company are pleased to have sponsored Gainsborough’s House exhibition Revealing Nature: The Art of Cedric Morris and Lett-Haines. We celebrated the opening of the exhibition with a lovely day out at Benton End shared with many friends of Gainsborough’s House and of Cedric and Lett themselves, some of their pupils at the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing, and the gardeners who look after Benton End today.
Featuring over eighty loans from institutions such as Tate, the National Portrait Gallery, and our own collection, the exhibition offers an expansive view of both artists’ works, including Lett-Haines’ surrealist works and a great selection of Morris’ flower paintings, still lifes, portraits, and landscapes.
Among our works on loan in the exhibition are Morris’ Summer Garden Flowers, Still Life, Nasturtiums and Pears, Flowers in a Portuguese Landscape, A View of the Outbuildings at Benton End and Winter Flowers, as well as Lett-Haines’ Italian Landscape. Also on display are Morris’ Cabbages, Agaete Gran Canaria, An Italian landscape, and Connemara Landscape, all of which have been previously with Philip Mould & Company.
