Morris was an admirer of the natural world, and was especially fond of birds. He painted this picture in response to the harmful effects that some pesticides were having on the bird population in 1950s Britain. By 1958, large numbers of birds were being found in fields, as a result of eating pesticide contaminated seeds. Morris’ friends described him as deeply upset by this, and the Landscape of Shame was painted in an effort to bring the issue to a wider audience. He apparently originally intended to title the painting ‘In Homage of…’ with direct reference to the chemical manufacturers at fault.
