Alfred Wallis - Artist and Mariner

Alfred Wallis - Artist and Mariner


Fascinating glimpses into the life and work of Alfred Wallis.

This film celebrates the life and work of one of Cornwall's best-loved artists, Alfred Wallis (1855-1942). We're invited to look afresh at his paintings in light of the land and seascapes that inspired him. Reminiscences by friends and relatives are the focus rather than appraisal of his work by an authoritative art critic - aptly enough for an artist who worked outside the 'establishment'.

Consists of reminiscences about the painter by surviving friends and relatives
from his native town of St Ives, counterpointed by visuals showing the
paintings themselves and the real land and seascapes that inspired them.
