About the artwork

Morris’s passion for horticulture made him an impressive breeder of irises. He grew approximately 1,000 seedlings each year, and produced and registered at least 90 new varieties. The year this work was painted, 1943, yielded a particularly beautiful crop. Morris places some of these into a jug and painted them quickly enough for the painting to be completed before the flowers withered.

With his partner Arthur Lett-Haines, he later worked iand lived in London, Paris, Cornwall and finally Suffolk, where he Lett-Haines founded the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing. The school had many notable students, including Maggi Hambling and Lucian Freud. As an artist he is best known for his portraits, flower paintings and landscapes.
