Published to accompany a touring 1987 exhibition, this is a key catalogue for anyone interested in the three artists featured and their position in the canon of British modernism. 

Inextricably linked following the famous story of Wallis being 'discovered' by Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood in St.Ives in 1928, the paintings of the Cornish mariner occupy an important point in the development of British art and continue to echo still, almost a century after that event.

Recent scholarship has done much to expand on Wallis' life and experiences as well as his art and the enthusiasm for his vision continues to grow.
