Alfred Wallis spent most of his life in the Cornish ports of
Newlyn, Penzance and St Ives, and went to sea as a young man. His
main occupation was as a dealer in marine supplies and he was in
his seventies before he took up painting 'for company'. He sold his
works for a few pence, and died in the poorhouse. Wallis is now
recognised as one of the most original British artists of the
twentieth century, the directness of his 'primitive' vision and the
object-like quality of his paintings being highly valued. This book
revises previous accounts of Wallis's life in the light of new
research and traces the development of his painting over seventeen
years. It also 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.
