ALFRED WALLIS "THE WHITE HOUSE"
ALFRED WALLIS "THE WHITE HOUSE" PAINTING ON BOARDAlfred Wallis (1855-1942). Pencil and gouache on cardboard drawing titled "The White House." Gallery and museum label attached on the verso. Unsigned. Provenance: Crane Kalman Gallery, London UK Private Collection, Cambridge, MA Exhibition: Dublin, Irish Museum of Modern Art, Two Painters: Alfred Wallis & James Dixon, 1999-2000, with tour to Tate St Ives. Exhibition number WD68. Alfred Wallis (18 August 1855 - 29 August 1942) was a Cornish fisherman and artist. Wallis's parents, Charles and Jane Wallis were from Penzance in Cornwall and moved to Devonport, Devon to find work in 1850 where Alfred and his brother Charles were born. Shortly after this the children's mother died and this prompted the family to move back to Penzance. On leaving school Alfred became an apprentice basket maker before becoming a mariner in the merchant service by the early 1870s. This work involved sailing schooners across the North Atlantic between Penzance and Newfoundland. Alfred married Susan Ward at St. Mary's church in Penzance in 1876, when he was 20 and his wife was 41 and became stepfather to her five children. He continued his life as a deep-sea fisherman on the Newfoundland run in the early days of his marriage allowing him to earn a good wage until the death of his two infant children when Alfred switched to local fishing and laboring in Penzance. The family moved to St. Ives, Cornwall, in 1890 where he established himself as a marine stores dealer, buying scrap iron, sails, rope and other items. In 1912, his business, "Wallis, Alfred, Marine Stores Dealer" closed for business and Alfred kept himself busy with odd jobs and worked for a local antiques dealer Mr Armour which provided some insight into the world of objets d'art. Following his wife's death in 1922, Wallis took up painting, as he later told Jim Ede, "for company". His paintings are an excellent example of naïve art; perspective is ignored and an object's scale is often based on its relative importance in the scene. This gives many of his paintings a map-like quality. Wallis painted his seascapes from memory, in large part because the world of sail he knew was being replaced by steamships. As he himself put it, his subjects were "what use To Bee out of my memery what we may never see again... "Having little money, Wallis improvised with materials, mostly painting on cardboard ripped from packing boxes using a limited palette of paint bought from ships' chandlers. In many ways, Wallis' timing was excellent. In 1928, a few years after he had started painting, Ben Nicholson and Kit Wood came to St. Ives and established an artist colony. They were delighted to find Wallis and celebrated his direct approach to image-making.(Nicholson commented later 'to Wallis,his paintings were never paintings but actual events') Wallis was propelled into a circle of the some of most progressive artists working in Britain in the 1930s. The influence, however, was all one way; Wallis continued to paint as he always had.) Nicholson later said of Wallis's art 'something that has grown out of the Cornish seas and earth and which will endure') Through Nicholson and Wood, Wallis was introduced to Jim Ede who promoted his work in London. Despite this attention, Wallis sold few of his paintings and continued to live in poverty until he died in the Madron Workhouse in Penzance. He is buried in Barnoon cemetery, overlooking St. Ives' Porthmeor beach and the Tate St Ives gallery. An elaborate gravestone, depicting a tiny mariner at the foot of a huge lighthouse - a popular motif in Wallis' paintings - was made from tiles by the potter Bernard Leach and now covers Wallis' tomb.

JOHN MILLER OIL ON CANVAS "SANTA
JOHN MILLER OIL ON CANVAS "SANTA MARIA DELLA SALUTE - V...John Miller (British 1931-2002) Oil on Canvas "Santa Maria Della Salute - Venice" , signed lower right John Miller; titled, signed and remarked on reverse of canvas "Santa Maria Della Salute - Venice, John Miller - Painted Spring 2000 - A Memory"; in molded gilt frame
64 in. x 47 in. Framed 76 in. x 60 in.
John Miller (1931-2002) was an English artist born in London who became famous for his idyllic representation of beach scenes in his home county of Cornwall. Most of his paintings were of the West Penwith peninsula and Tresco in the Isles of Scilly.
During the 1970s John Miller emerged as a cultural figurehead within Cornwall. He became well known as a painter of popular, Monet-like Cornish scenes (many of which were cheaply reproduced as prints for the tourist trade), as an art teacher, a television personality, a patron of local charities and an active supporter of the Church of England. He was also responsible for some high profile architectural projects including a reordering of the interior of Newlyn Art Gallery.
At an advanced stage in his career John Miller's artistic style underwent a radical change and by the mid-1990s his work (but not always his name) had become known worldwide as a result of the mass production and distribution of cheap posters, prints and cards with reproductions of his distinctive beach paintings: he produced the first of these in what was to become recognized as his trademark style in 1992. The paintings themselves, which Miller continued to produce in large numbers until his death in 2002, became highly sought after and were only available through selected London galleries at successive annual exhibitions which usually sold out well before their official opening dates.
John Miller was elected to become a member of the Newlyn Society of Artists in 1961. John Miller, a household name in Cornwall since the mid-1970s, is an artist whose work continues to have an extremely high public profile, both in the UK and internationally. In a 2003 survey (for the periodical ' Art Business Today ') of 200 United Kingdom high street gallery owners whose businesses specialized in posters and popular art reproductions, Miller was listed alongside Monet and L.S. Lowry among the 'top-four' best-selling landscape artists and fifth - above Van Gogh (7th), Picasso (8th), and Matisse (10th) - in a list of the current 'top-ten' best-selling deceased artists in all genres. John Miller's work was the subject of academic investigation by a postgraduate student at the University of Kent, Canterbury, England in 2004-2005.
