"White Cottages" is a painting by Alfred Wallis, a self-taught Cornish fisherman and artist whose work gained posthumous recognition for its raw, untrained aesthetic and historical significance within the British art scene. Wallis, born in 1855 in Devonport, Devon, moved to St Ives, Cornwall, where he spent much of his life. He began painting in 1922, at the age of 67, following the death of his wife. His works are characterized by their simplicity, directness, and the use of found materials, such as cardboard and ship paint, which were readily available to him.

"White Cottages" exemplifies Wallis's distinctive style, which often depicted maritime scenes, coastal landscapes, and the architecture of his surroundings. The painting captures the essence of Cornish life with its depiction of quaint, whitewashed cottages, likely inspired by the traditional homes found in St Ives and other coastal villages. Wallis's approach to perspective is notably unconventional; he often employed a flattened, almost childlike perspective that disregarded the formal rules of academic art. This naivety, however, imbued his work with a unique charm and authenticity that resonated with contemporary artists and collectors.

Wallis's art was discovered by prominent figures of the modernist movement, including Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood, who were instrumental in bringing his work to a wider audience. They admired Wallis's unpretentious and instinctive approach to painting, which contrasted sharply with the more polished and theoretical works of their peers. Today, "White Cottages" and other works by Alfred Wallis are celebrated for their contribution to the naïve art genre and their influence on the development of modern British art. Wallis's legacy endures, with his paintings held in major collections, including the Tate Gallery in London, where they continue to inspire and captivate audiences.
