拍品專文

Cedric Morris stated in 1928, 'I am inclined to believe that selection from natural forms is the expression of our national genius ... Neither has anyone exactly copied nature - for nature cannot be copied. From natural objects, I obtain line for lines sake, colour for colours sake, form for forms sake' (see Exhibition catalogue, Richard Morphet [ed.], Cedric Morris, London, Tate Gallery, 1984, p. 29).
