Cedric Morris & Christopher Wood : A Forgotten Friendship

Christopher Wood arrived in Paris in 1921 to become one of England’s greatest painters. There he met many artists including a young Englishman named Cedric Morris.

Wood and Morris attended the same art schools in Paris, painted the same models and drank in the same Montparnasse bars. When they both moved to London their work was at the forefront of the avant-garde.

Both artists travelled to the same places in Cornwall and Brittany, and this exhibition shows a selection of their stunning and evocative landscapes alongside portraits of their mutual friends.
