Description: | This important Expressionist landscape was inspired by the view over the sea at Bideford Bay, North Devon. The scene was painted from the artist's tent, pitched at the top of the cliffs. Rich colours have been used to express the powerful emotions David Bomberg felt for the landscape. The stormy sky and gathering twilight are represented by reddish purples and blues set against the gold streak of sunset on the horizon. Broad, creamy brushstrokes add to the sensuousness of the colour. David Bomberg described the picture as, 'a work of my highest achievement'. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement art | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
