"Mermaids, 1929" is a painting by English artist Christopher Wood (1901–1930), known for his distinct style that bridges English primitivism and elements of the avant-garde movements from the early 20th century. Created in 1929, this work is part of Wood's mature period, where he had already been influenced by his interactions with the Parisian avant-garde, including artists like Pablo Picasso and Jean Cocteau, as well as the rich artistic scene in Cornwall, where he spent significant time.

The painting depicts a scene of mermaids, which are mythological aquatic creatures often characterized by their female form and fish-like tail below the waist. Mermaids have been a subject of folklore, literature, and art for centuries, symbolizing the allure and mystery of the sea. In Wood's interpretation, the mermaids are typically stylized with a sense of naivety and a dreamlike quality that reflects his interest in the primitive and the childlike, which were also hallmarks of the broader primitivist movement.

"Mermaids, 1929" is notable for its use of vibrant colors, simplified forms, and a composition that balances between figuration and abstraction. The painting may also reflect Wood's personal mythology and his search for a spiritual and idyllic world, which was a recurring theme in his work. The year 1929 was significant for Wood, as it was a period of intense creativity before his tragic and early death in 1930.

As with many of Wood's paintings, "Mermaids, 1929" is a testament to his unique position within British art of the time, straddling traditional subjects and modernist aesthetics. The work is held in a private collection or a public institution, and it has been exhibited and studied as part of retrospectives of Wood's brief but impactful career. It contributes to the understanding of Wood's oeuvre and the cultural milieu of the late 1920s in Europe, particularly in the context of the interwar period's artistic developments.
