Alfred Wallis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alfred Wallis (18 August 1855- 29 August 1942) was an English fisherman and artist. Wallis painted his seascapes from memory, in large part because the world of sail he knew was being replaced by steam ships. As such, Wallis was propelled into a circle of the some of most progressive artists working in Britain in the 1930s. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Alfred_Wallis   (286 words)

Alfred Wallis Alfred Wallis (1855-1942) spent most of his life as a dealer in marine supplies and it was only at the age of 70 that he took up painting "for company" after the death of his wife. Wallis is now recognized as one of the most original British artists of the 20th century. This book looks at the mythology that grew up around Wallis and at the sustained interest in the irascible eccentric whose work affected a generation of British artists. www.allbookstores.com /book/1854372289   (148 words)

kettle's yard house - object6 Alfred Wallis took up painting in his early seventies, to fend off loneliness after the death of his wife Susan (1922). The disregard of traditional concepts of colour and perspective emphasise Wallis' very personal vision, based upon a sort of 'topography of memory', in which the reality of the place is distorted in accordance with the artist's recollection of it. Wallis never painted from life, preferring to work from memory in his St. Ives cottage. www.kettlesyard.co.uk /house/object/object_06.html   (336 words)

Raw Vision Wallis’ early life is vague: he possibly went to sea as a cabin boy at the age of nine, but is certainly documented as a seaman on a fishing expedition to Newfoundland, and continued as a seaman until he was 35. Wallis only began painting at the age of seventy, three years after his wife Susan, who was 20 years his senior, died; he said he did it ‘for company’. Wallis’ place in art history was by then becoming assured; Ben Nicholson had donated his painting ‘Cornish Port’ to the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1940. www.rawvision.com /back/wallis/wallis.html   (1175 words)

Real Cornwall :: Arts&Media :: Performing Arts :: The St Ives Group Alfred Wallis (1855- 1942) was born in Devonport to Cornish parents (from West Penwith). Art historians today regard Wallis as a ‘genuinely creative man able, through the imaginative manipulation of limited materials, to give a compelling account of [his] life’ and one who influenced a generation of artists.
