Desmond Morris

Long before Desmond Morris had startled the world with his outrageous book The Naked Ape, Morris had already gripped public attention as a painter. When his canvasses were first shown in public, they managed to arouse widespread outrage. An exhibition held in 1948 inspired angry letters to the press. Spurred on by a rebellious spirit, he has since then been painting unceasingly and now ranks among the foremost exponents of Surrealism in Britain.
