Two Painters

Résumé du livre

Alfred Wallis and James Dixon both began painting in later life, depicting scenes from their native fishing villages at St Ives, Cornwall, and Tory Island, Ireland, with a unique purity of expression. This volume, published in association with the irish Museum of Modern Art, revisits and re-evaluates their celebrated "primitive" seascapes, landscapes, boat scenes, portraits and allegories, painted on odd bits of cardboard or board with improvised materials.
