Description
Alfred Wallis Sketchbooks by Andrew Wilson In 1942, Alfred Wallis created these remarkable sketchbooks during his final year at the Penzance poorhouse. They offer a unique glimpse into his artistic process and the development of modern art in Britain. A self-taught artist who began painting after his wife's death in 1925, Wallis's simple yet direct style had a significant influence on artists such as Winifred and Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood. His authentic expression of experience continues to inspire artists today. This book brings together the contents of three sketchbooks filled with drawings, providing an insight into Wallis's art of memory made tangible. With an introduction by curator Andrew Wilson, this publication sheds new light on Wallis's contribution to British modern art.
