Sleeping Fisherman, Ploar, Brittany, 1930
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Christopher Wood that transports viewers to the picturesque coastal town of Ploar in Brittany, France. This significant artwork was created during Wood's stay in Brittany between 1929 and 1930, where he drew inspiration from the simplicity and directness of folk art. Wood intentionally adopted an untrained style of painting to capture the essence of his subject matter. The texture of the paint plays a vital role in this piece; thick and rough brushstrokes depict the sky with no attempt to create depth or space. Instead, vibrant colors and jagged forms are arranged in patterns that intensify the overall impact. The focal point of this composition is a fisherman peacefully slumbering on a beach. His weathered face tells tales of hard work at sea as he rests beside his trusty basket filled with freshly caught fish. The tranquil coastal scene surrounding him showcases the beauty and serenity found along France's coastline. Through "Sleeping Fisherman". Wood not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to maritime life and its connection to nature. This remarkable painting invites us into a world where man coexists harmoniously with animals amidst breathtaking landscapes—a testament to both Wood's artistic talent and his deep appreciation for capturing authentic human experiences through art.
