Alfred Wallis:  Works from the Kettle’s Yard Collection

at Time and Tide 
Museum of Great Yarmouth Life
1 April – 8 September 2013
Open daily 9.30 – 4.30

One of the most original artists of the 20th century, Alfred Wallis had no formal training.  He took up painting in 1925 when he was over 70, as a distraction after his wife died.

Working on salvaged fragments of wood and cardboard, Wallis was influenced by a life at sea.  He painted what he knew best: sailing boats, luggers, brigantines – often struggling on rough seas.

Wallis used to say he wasn’t a ‘real artist’ – yet his simple, life affirming and unpretentious paintings can now be seen in some of the most prestigious collections in the world.  His work is a poignant reminder that there are no rules about who can make art or how it should be made.

This is a superb opportunity to see an extensive selection of Wallis’s work – on tour in Norfolk for the first time.

This is a touring exhibition by Kettle’s Yard, University of Cambridge
