Llanmadoc Hill, Gower - Sir Cedric Morris
Theme : Art and Culture

Sir Cedric Lockwood Morris (1889 - 1982) was the eldest child of a Sketty family, spending his formative years in and around Swansea.
As an artist, he was largely self-taught having left the Academie Delacluse in Paris, after one term, to join the army at the outbreak of war in 1914. This meant that he did not begin painting until 1918. However by the late 1920s he had enjoyed many successful exhibitions, most notably at Tooth's in London in 1928.
Painted a decade into his career, this landscape, capturing the Gower landmark, Llanmadoc Hill, reflects the simplicity and clarity of style that Morris established early in his career and never relinquished despite having met some of the most prominent avant-garde artists of the 1920s.
