Note du spécialiste

The present work is a study for the oil, Red Landscape, 1942 (Southampton City Art Gallery). It appears to be a view of Carnllidi near St David's in Pembrokeshire. The artist was in Wales on his first major commission as an Official War Artist to make drawings of bomb damage. The present study is much like the oil with its strong, emotive use of colour which boldly recalls the artist's landscapes of the war years.
