Artwork Detail
There is a strong calligraphic element to the rapid swirls and arabesques of the brushstrokes in this watercolour, suggesting the artist’s determination to capture the flapping red sails and constant movement of the water. The red-sailed tunny boats
in the narrow harbour of Concarneau were also a favourite subject of another New Zealand expatriate, Sydney Lough Thompson, although he unlike Frances Hodgkins never moved beyond painting in an Impressionist style.
