Houses By The Road is a notable painting by the British artist Alfred Wallis, who is renowned for his distinctive and naive style of art. Wallis, a self-taught painter, began his artistic career relatively late in life, after retiring from his work as a fisherman and marine scrap dealer. His paintings are celebrated for their raw, unpolished quality and their evocative portrayal of maritime life and coastal landscapes, often reflecting his personal experiences and memories.

Created in the early 20th century, Houses By The Road exemplifies Wallis's unique approach to composition and perspective. The painting depicts a row of houses situated along a road, rendered in Wallis's characteristic flattened perspective and simplified forms. The use of bold, unmodulated colors and the absence of detailed shading lend the work a striking, almost childlike quality. This stylistic choice is a hallmark of Wallis's oeuvre, setting his work apart from more conventional landscape paintings of the time.

Wallis's choice of materials further contributes to the distinctive nature of his work. He often painted on found objects such as cardboard, old boxes, and scraps of wood, which imbued his paintings with a sense of immediacy and authenticity. This resourcefulness was partly born out of necessity, as Wallis lived in relative poverty and had limited access to traditional art supplies.

Houses By The Road, like many of Wallis's paintings, captures a sense of place and community, reflecting the artist's deep connection to his surroundings in St Ives, Cornwall. Wallis's work gained recognition posthumously, largely thanks to the efforts of artists and collectors associated with the St Ives School, who appreciated his unorthodox style and the emotional depth of his paintings. Today, Alfred Wallis is celebrated as a significant figure in British art, and his works, including Houses By The Road, continue to be admired for their originality and heartfelt simplicity.
