"Schooner" is a notable painting by Alfred Wallis, an English fisherman turned artist who is celebrated for his distinctive and naïve style. Wallis, who began painting in his seventies, is renowned for his depictions of maritime scenes, which reflect his intimate knowledge of the sea and boats from his years as a mariner. "Schooner" exemplifies Wallis's unique approach to art, characterized by its simplicity, directness, and the use of unconventional materials.

Wallis often painted on found objects such as cardboard and scraps of wood, using household paint rather than traditional artist's materials. This choice of medium contributes to the raw and unpolished aesthetic of his work, which has been both praised and critiqued for its unrefined quality. "Schooner" captures a sailing vessel, a common subject in Wallis's oeuvre, rendered with a childlike perspective and a lack of formal training that gives the piece its charm and authenticity.

The painting is marked by its bold, flat colors and the absence of linear perspective, which creates a sense of immediacy and intimacy. Wallis's compositions often disregard the conventional rules of scale and proportion, instead focusing on the essence and spirit of the scene. This approach allows viewers to engage with the work on a more emotional and instinctive level, evoking the rugged beauty and harsh realities of maritime life.

"Schooner" and other works by Wallis gained recognition largely through the efforts of prominent artists and collectors associated with the St Ives School, such as Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood, who discovered Wallis's work in the late 1920s. They admired his unpretentious and sincere expression, which resonated with their own modernist sensibilities. Today, Wallis's paintings are celebrated for their contribution to British art, offering a poignant glimpse into the life and vision of a self-taught artist who captured the spirit of the Cornish coast with unparalleled authenticity.
