Who was Garman Morris?
About 25 years ago, I bought a pair of lovely watercolours by an artist called Garman Morris. Over the years, I have occasionally come across other works by the same artist, but I was never able to find out much information about him. I have also seen requests for information from other art lovers and so, set up this website to try to help to research the life, times and art of Garman Morris.Garman (sometimes mis-spelt Garmon) Morris is mentioned in The Dictionary of Neglected Artists 1880 - 1950, so presumably lived sometime between those dates. He flourished 1900-30. This prolific artist appears to have painted also under the name of G.M. Avondale (not sure if this is true). The subjects were mostly fishing boats off the coast or shore scenes. He travelled extensively around the coast of UK and painted in France and Holland. He seems to have lived around Essex or East Anglia (or possibly both).Garmon Morris exhibited two watercolours at Elands Art Gallery in Exeter in 1906 and 1907, entitled 'The Coast near Ilfracombe', and 'St. Michael's Mount'. Some of his work was made into prints, and C.W. Faulkner & Co. Ltd., published some coastal scenes as postcards. The prints are of very good quality, and seem often to be mistaken for actual watercolours. The larger works are usually signed in full and titled, whereas the smaller sketches are often initialled. Please feel free to contribute as much knowledge as you can. It would be nice if we could have pictures of as many of his works as possible (and interesting to have the prices sold at auction).As my first step, I have googled him and added the relevant detail from the various websites I have come across so the majority of this site is a list of his pictures, with details of where they were sold at auction.
