  Peter Lanyon · 1962

  Oil on canvas. 121.9 × 182.8 cm.

  Why it merits attention

  A painting from Lanyon’s gliding years, when flight changed how he represented landscape. Its reverse dates it to May 1962; Christie’s connects the central diagonal motif with his Porthmeor Mural, then in progress. That link places the canvas within a larger experiment in pictorial space.
