Description: | This painting is one of Charles Simpson's major pictures. The artist recorded on the back of the picture that it shows the view from his studio window in St Ives, Cornwall. Fish workers are packing up herring into barrels for transport. Sunlight floods the scene, turning the figures into ghostly shapes. Squarish blocks of colour create a mosaic effect. Charles Simpson was one of the artists associated with the Newlyn School group of painters in the early part of the 20th century. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1924 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Charles Walter Simpson | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
