Footnotes
Patrick Oliver studied at Leeds College of Art where he was taught by Peter Lanyon, the St Ives artist famed for his abstract paintings which drew on his experience as a hand glider. In his work, Lanyon captured the British landscape from a new vantage point, creating strikingly elemental compositions. Oliver appears to have been inspired by the virtuosity and immediacy of his teacher's art. The present work perfectly transcribes the powerful energy of this famous waterfall near Middleton in Teesdale, Durham.
