Description
Alfred Wallis was an artist whose life and work were marked by hardship and obscurity. Despite struggling to make ends meet, he found solace in painting from his late 70s onwards.
This revised account of Wallis's life draws on new research to shed light on the development of his unique style over seventeen years. The book also explores the mythology that grew up around him and the lasting impact of his work on British art.
