Ronald Blythe recalls that 'there was a whiff of garlic and wine in the air. The atmosphere. was robust and coarse, and exquisite and tentative all at once. Rough and ready and fine mannered. There was no formal teaching and students were left free to pursue their own enthusiasms and to show their work to Morris or Lett Haines for advice.

About this product

Product Information

Benton End was an exotic world apart where art, literature, good food, gardening and lively conversation combined to produce a stimulating environment for amateurs and professionals alike. Visitors included Victoria Sackville-West, Elizabeth David, Francis Bacon, John Nash, Randolph Churchill, Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears. Among the students were Lucian Freud, Lucy Harwood, David Carr, Glyn Morgan, Kathleen Hale and Maggi Hambling. Without formal teaching, they were free to pursue their own enthusiasms while Cedric's other skill as a plantsman and noted breeder of irises, contrasted with Lett's intellectual sophistication and interest in food, wine and artistic experimentation.
