"Schooner In Full Sail" is a notable painting by Alfred Wallis, an English artist renowned for his distinctive and primitive style. Wallis, who was born in 1855 and passed away in 1942, began painting late in life, around the age of 70, after the death of his wife. He was largely self-taught and his works are characterized by their simplicity and directness, often depicting maritime scenes inspired by his life as a fisherman and marine scrap dealer in St Ives, Cornwall.

"Schooner In Full Sail" exemplifies Wallis's unique approach to art, which eschews traditional perspective and scale in favor of a more intuitive and expressive representation. The painting captures a schooner, a type of sailing vessel, navigating the open sea with its sails fully unfurled. Wallis's use of bold, unmodulated colors and his disregard for realistic proportions lend the work a sense of immediacy and movement, evoking the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the sea.

Wallis often painted on found materials, such as cardboard and scraps of wood, which adds a textural and tactile quality to his works. This choice of medium reflects his resourcefulness and connection to the maritime environment, as well as his outsider status in the art world. Despite his lack of formal training, Wallis's paintings have been celebrated for their authenticity and emotional resonance.

"Schooner In Full Sail" is a testament to Wallis's ability to convey the essence of his subjects with minimal means. His work has been influential in the development of modern British art, particularly among the artists of the St Ives School, who admired his unpretentious and heartfelt approach to painting. Today, Wallis's paintings are held in high regard and can be found in major collections, including the Tate Gallery in London.
