"Calypso"

AYRES, Gillian

© Estate of Gillian Ayres/Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales
×

How does Calypso make you feel? Ayres’s painting style appeals to our senses and emotions, a riot of vivid colour and expressive, tactile paint. It was painted during the artist’s time living on the Lleyn Peninsula in north Wales. This incredible landscape inspired her painting to even greater joyfulness and energy.

USA. CALIFORNIA. Parkfield route 48. James Dean died in a car crash. It is strange that, Americans, who seem so expert in exploiting anything for monetary gain seem to have missed out on this event. The monument on the spot he died was actually put up by the Japanese. 1991.
