BENTON END REMEMBERED: CEDRIC MORRIS, ARTHUR LETT-HAINES AND THE EAST ANGLIAN SCHOOL OF PAINTING AND DRAWING (PAPERBACK) Unicorn Publishing Group, United Kingdom, 2018. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book. In 1940, Cedric Morris and Arthur Lett-Haines, both established artists with international reputations who had become disillusioned with the commercial aspects of the art world, moved to Benton End, overlooking the River Brett on the outskirts of Hadleigh, Suolk. What they found there was a somewhat ramshackle but capacious sixteenth-century farmhouse, standing in over three acres of walled gardens lost beneath brambles and elder trees; the house had not been lived in for fieen years. But Benton End became both their home and the new premises of the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing which, in 1937, they had founded together in Dedham, Essex. From 1940 until Lett Haines died in 1978 and Cedric Morris in 1982, Benton End was an exotic world apart where art, literature, good food, gardening and lively conversation combined to produce an extraordinarily stimulating environment for amateurs and professionals alike.

It was not until re- Morris’s Flowers cently that I realised how in Feering, right wrong he was. For this spring, the ghost of Morris’s garden stirred back to life, thanks to a gardener hired by the Pinchbecks to cut back the undergrowth: on the last day before lockdown, Corydalis bul- bosa ‘Alba’ was revealed under the medlar tree, also the widow iris that Morris loved to paint, and double- headed Fritillaria pyrenaica. Morris and Lett-Haines acquired the house in 1940 and ran it as the East An- glian School of Painting and Drawing – an art school famous for its links with the young Lucian Freud and Maggi Hambling. It was also a social hub: in the kitchen, Lett-Haines’ cousin, the food writer Elizabeth David, could be found at the stove, childrens’ author Kathleen Hale handed around platters – and, yes, the marmalade cat of her sto- ries looked on – while Lett-Haines mixed martinis and told stories of tiffs with Hemingway in 1920s Paris. To Blythe, then a shy young librar- ian, the atmosphere was “out of this world so far as I had previously tasted it. The generous ghosts at Rough and ready and fine mannered. Also faintly dangerous.” The sloping garden combined Mor- ris’s artist-bred irises with perhaps the most interesting collection of plants in post-war Britain.
