During WW2, Olga Lehmann's decorative murals enlivened the dour interiors of the nationwide chain of state-run 'British restaurants,' requisitioned hotels, the ministry of aircraft production and the government censorship department in Holborn. This work is from 1940.

I'm close to the end of writing my book on forgotten British artists; it's made me realise how many very good painters have been forgotten. This work is by the late Norfolk artist Geoffrey Burrows. It measures 21.5 cm x 28.5cm and is for sale at £900 richard@richardmorris.org

Corot Study, Island Lake. One of a group of landscapes that begin with Corot—not as subject, but as a point of departure. I’m interested in what happens when that history of landscape painting is pulled apart, layered, and rebuilt through my own experience of place.

Leeds. Morning. January 2026. Down by the market.
A wavy lined black and white pedestrian area with grand ornate red brick and sandstone buildings. All very smart beneath a crisp winter sky. A woman walks towards a big pink Churros cabin. It’s all amber sunlight and blue shadows. 

That pedestrian area is treacherous when it has been raining or it’s covered in still wet Saturday night sick.

Leeds. January 2026.
The large edifice of a brick built telephone exchange sits adjacent to the smooth reflective grey of a shiny tarmac road. On the right are fences and red and white plastic barriers, laid for pending building work. Above, blue works its way into white at the horizon where the sky is interrupted by a newly built block of flats.

'Road to the Farm.' (1944) I find it difficult to think of any British landscape painter of Rowland Hilder's generation (he was born in 1905) whose work is as widely known but whose name is not. His work touched a strain of nostalgia for an unchanged and unchanging landscape.

Hayle. Oct 2015. 7am-ish.
Mudflats and water reflect the dark pink and purple brown of a sky that runs, left to right. It goes from fluffy scumbles of cloud towards a pale blue and golden clarity. 

Between, across not quite the middle a black felt line crosses, marking out the silhouettes of trees and buildings you cannot see.

Lelant. Cornwall. 2015.
A harbour scene with early morning amber coloured light, over grey clouds broken in front of pale blue. In the distance a line of low trees and a church. 
Poetry isn’t my thing but alt text is tricky so this is what you’re getting.

Hayle 2020.
Blue water and blue sky banded from left to right by a strip of random buildings, sand and scrub. 

A solitary point of cloud hangs, stranded, like punctuation in an empty sentence. .

Reginald Brill had an indefatigable interest in the everyday lives of people, and they're often captured off-guard as in this work of an orange seller at Sudbury, Suffolk from around the mid-1950s.

George-Daniel de Monfreid experimented with many artistic styles but consolidated his ideas around Impressionism. A close friend of Paul Gauguin, he was his only link to Europe during his Tahitian and the Marquesas years. This still-life is from around 1905

'Dilapidation,' the Scottish painter Joan Eardley once said 'is often more interesting to a painter, as is anything that has been used and lived with.' This work, 'The Fireplace at Number One, Catterline,' was painted in 1955.
