Contents: Cedric Morris and Lett Haines established the East Anglican School of Painting and Drawing in 1937. Together they created a stimulating, exotic and eccentric environment, which inspired and encouraged artists and students for over 40 year. This lavishly illustrated publication explores their own significant achievements as artists alongside their contribution to teaching and promoting the visual arts in East Anglia and Wales. Morris and Lett Haines’ unique contribution to twentieth century British art is discussed with reference to leading former pupils and associates of the school: David Carr, Lucian Freud, Maggie Hambling, Lucy Harwood, Frances Hodgkins and Glyn Morgan.
