JACK BUTLER YEATS - Off the Irish Coast (1942)

Off the Irish Coast

Different to Loiseau's abstract nature as I feel this does have a sense of depth, mainly because of the strong black accents. No detail but the marks create the illusion, very little blending  - this happens actually on the canvas. DIRECTIONAL, strong brush strokes separate the horizontal sea, vertical rocks and multi directional sky.
Oh yeah the colours are also YUM.
