| High Wind/Peter Lanyon |
Fabulous Peter Lanyon landscapes at the
Courtauld Gallery, London - huge paintings inspired by Lanyon's gliding, rarely hung together.He paints from the air - the weather, fields, spiralling colours and air movement. Reminded me of
walking the west Cornwall coast last summer.
Lots of students were there sketching the paintings and someone had a
wash pen brush - perfect for capturing this movement. Downstairs in the main galleries, a Eduaord Manet portrait (another age and another sensibility) had similar sweeping brushstrokes...
