Alfred Wallis
Alfred Wallis (1855-1942) was a British self-taught artist and fisherman whose work profoundly impacted the modern art movement. Starting his artistic journey in his seventies, Wallis painted seascapes and coastal scenes on found materials, like cardboard and driftwood, using house paint. His distinctive naive style, characterised by simplistic forms and a lack of perspective, captured the essence of maritime life in Cornwall. Despite his lack of formal training, Wallis's work gained posthumous recognition, influencing the St Ives artistic community and leaving a lasting legacy in the world of British art.
