Notes:
"Paintings from St. Ives reproduces paintings and letters by the extraordinary primitivist Alfred Wallis (1855-1942), a semi-literate Cornish fisherman who began painting 'for company' when he was seventy, after the death of his wife. George Melly's sympathetic introduction outlines Wallis's life and provides a critical commentary on the work."--Reverse of box lid.
