Description: | Leslie Cole painted this shipbuilding scene when he was working as a War Artist during the Second World War (1939-1945). Corvettes were small, fast ships. The red-hot metal of the piece of hull that the men are working on stands out against the grey surroundings. The grey is otherwise varied by patterns. The design formed by the round holes in the floor plates is balanced by the squares on the jacket of the worker on the far left of the picture. Curving lines describe the folds on the clothes of the men. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1942 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Leslie Cole | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
