Fred Cuming (1930-2022)
Sail and Steam
Out of stock
This is a masterful oil painting that exemplifies the English Romantic tradition through an impressionistic, heavily layered technique featuring a restricted palette of warm earth tones and soft greys. Blending industrial imagery with abstract, dreamlike weightlessness it captures the fleeting, tangible quality of light and atmosphere on a working river. It’s palette of soft tones create immense depth and emotional resonance, adhering to the New English Art Club tradition. The painting employs “the magic of the touch”—an economy of means where subtle, confident brushstrokes capture the vastness of the sea and sky, contrasted with the precise, textured depiction of the vessels.
