TW427289 Sleeping Fisherman, Ploar, Brittany, 1930 (oil on board) by Wood, Christopher (1901-30); 37.8x72.8 cm; Laing Art Gallery, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK; (add.info.: This important painting is one of several pictures painted by Christopher Wood in Brittany, France in 1929 and 1930. Wood admired the directness of folk art, and he deliberately used an \'untrained\' style of painting. The texture of the paint is an important part of the picture. The sky is painted in thick, rough brushstrokes, with no attempt to create an illusion of space. The colours and jagged forms are arranged in patterns that add to the impact of the picture;); 穢 Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums; English, out of copyright.
