Description: | Derwent Lees painted views such as this in France from 1905 to 1918. He made his visits during summer holidays from his job as a drawing teacher at the Slade School of Art in London. The combination of bright colours and patterns in this picture was a response to the developments of Post-Impressionist painting in both France and Britain. Blue and grey shadows form undulating streaks across the landscape. Patches of colour represent reflections on the water, repeating the shapes of pebbles on the beach. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists watercolours art | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
