It is very moving to see how in this, one of his last Cornish subjects, his extensive travels, most notably to the USA (this work was first shown, at the Catherine Viviano Gallery in New York) and close friendships with Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning, had stimulated him into making these final, astonishingly vigorous and foward-looking visions of his own native landscape.
